Listen to the song;
I learned this song some time around 2007 when I was listening to Jason Upton's worship music a lot. His songs were highly therapeutic for me during that period of my life. Around the same time when I began to court my wife Connie, I sang it to her and it quickly became one of her favorites. To this day she always asks me to play it for her so the song has lots of memories and significance to us and our story. So now that I've recorded all of my songs written over the past thirty years, I'm finally getting around to doing a few covers and Connie asked me to do this one. She also requested that I play it stripped down without a bunch of instruments; just my guitar and voice. I added some subtle drums and bass to finish it off. The lyrics evolved in the way I have sung it over the years, so it may not be exactly how Jason sings it. Here are the lyrics the way I sing them on the recording:
No one knows the day, no one knows the hour
Jesus is coming back soon
All creation trembles, longing for the day.
Jesus is coming back soon
(Bridge)
There will be judgment, there will be mercy, on that terrible day
Leaders will bow down, kingdoms will fall down
Can you feel your world begin to shake?
(Chorus)
From the sound of the Lion of Judah
See the fire and the fear in the enemy’s camp
From the sounds of the Lion of Judah roaring again
There’s a new generation arising
A nameless, placeless, faceless tribe
All they fear is the fear of the Lord
All they hear is the Lion of Judah
All I saw were bones breaking in the darkness
Then I came into the light
There I saw an army coming from the river
With five stones ready to fight
(Bridge)
There will be judgment, there will be mercy, on that terrible day
Leaders will bow down, kingdoms will fall down
Can you feel your world begin to shake?
(Chorus)
Hear the sound of the Lion of Judah
See the fire and the fear in the enemy’s camp
From the sounds of the Lion of Judah roaring again
There’s a new generation arising
A nameless, placeless, faceless tribe
All they fear is the fear of the Lord
All they hear is the Lion of Judah
Raise up an army, raise up an army
Raise up an army like Joel saw
Raise up an army, raise up an army Lord
Raise up an army like Joel saw
(Bridge & Chorus)
