Faixa 12
Cm The temple is rebuilt C The altar burns again Am Am D The people say the words G Gm But the heart is thin God says I have loved you D Cm They answer how D The first wound in Malachi As love forgotten now, how have you loved us? C D The priests bring leftovers, Gm A D the blind, the lame, the torn. They would not give a governor what Gm they offer to the Lord. God says, G Cm Gm where is my honor? Where is my fear? Cm D Religion stayed in motion, Gm but reverence disappeared. Cm Gm Malachi asked the question D7 Who can endure his day? The messenger is coming Gm The Lord will purify D Gm He will refine the sons of Levi Cm He will expose the heart D7 Before the silence falls Gm God calls them to return They broke faith in marriage Cm They covered wrong with prayer D They wearied God with questions Gm Where is justice? Does He care? They robbed Him in their giving Cm They called service vain D They saw the proud prosper D7 D And wondered why obey? Why obey? D Why obey? D7 C D7 D But not all were careless. D7 Some still feared the Lord. D God heard their conversation and D7 A# Gm wrote their names before Him. Then comes the closing warning. Cm Remember Moses’ law. D7 Cm D7 Elijah comes before the day, Gm before the great and dreadful day. Malachi asked the question Cm D7 Who can endure his day? The messenger is coming Gm The Lord will purify Cm The son of righteousness will rise With healing in his wings D7 Judgment is coming Gm But mercy calls them home Cm D7 Cm The Old Testament closes D With a warning D D Gm D A promise and 400 years of silence
