ZEPHANIAH

 

Zephaniah

The Lord declares a day of woe

When nations fall, their pride laid low

The earth shall tremble, all shall see

God’s justice comes to set hearts free

Seek Him, O humble, seek His way

Before the coming dreadful day

Turn from your sin, obey His voice

And in His mercy, hearts rejoice

The proud shall perish, nations quake

The city falls, the towers break

Yet Judah spared, a faithful remnant

Shall praise the Lord, His love so constant

The Lord restores the meek & mild

He shelters those who are reviled

The exiled children return with song

And all His people shall belong

The nations gather, plotting vain

Their words & schemes will bring them pain

God shields His own with mighty hand

And fills their hearts with peace so grand

The Lord delights in those who fear

Who trust His name, His voice to hear

He wipes away the tears & grief

And turns their mourning into relief

Though Zephaniah warns of wrath

He points the way along God’s path

Repent, return, embrace the light

And walk with Him from dark to bright

The Lord exalts, He strengthens weak

He lifts the humble, hears the meek

The faithful dwell in joy & peace

Their songs of praise shall never cease

Thus Zephaniah speaks to all

That God’s great hand will never fall

Through judgment, mercy, hope & love

He guides His children from above
