Hiding Place
“it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27
Day of wrath! Certain and dreadful day
When earth and sky are burned away
The sun will dim, and with it the moon decay
To greet His fierce return
The trumpet sounds, all of the dead arise
A mighty army swells the skies
The Lamb descends, a burning within His eyes
To conquer and to judge
So swift He leads those heavenly armies on
To slay the harlot Babylon
Lo, hear her now enjoying a prideful song
He’ll catch her by surprise
And from the earth her name erase
O Jesus, be my hiding place
O Jesus, be my hiding place
Hiding place....
Foolish now, the philosophies we did trust
“O rocks and hills come fall on us!”
Man dreads to come, let me tell you
But come he must, and face his destiny
Wretched soul, what sympathy can we plead?
O who for us can intercede?
Our sighs and tears so futile and empty seem
When underneath His frown
Yet there’s one voice can save the race
O Jesus, be my hiding place
O Jesus, be my hiding place
Hiding place…
Judgment waits for you and me
The axe is ready for the tree
Those secret things His justice will expose
So heed me well, or hope is lost
Surrender now beneath the Cross
Take care to enter before the moment goes
A door that He can open, He can close
The little child, and the pompous king
Are here the same, great reckoning
The vilest tongue His praises sing
The stiffest knee bow down
Man can’t atone for his disgrace
O Jesus be my hiding place
O Jesus be my hiding place
