The sun rises like a bird
With healing in its wings
Shines the light of righteousness
On the broken and unclean

And this righteousness comes not
By the working of our hands
But here is the gift of God
Purchased by the spotless lamb

As by you law we were condemned
By your grace we are restored
And by grace alone we'll stand
On the great day of the Lord

Chorus
On the great day of the Lord
When the dead in Christ shall rise
And the sun and moon will be replaced
By the light in Jesus' eyes

On the great day of the Lord
On the great day of the Lord

So we wait for your return
Like a bride awaits her groom
And with all creation yearn
That the day is coming soon

Oh you'll ride in victory
And darkness reigns no more
And the coming of our king
On the great of the Lord

Repeat Chorus

On the great day of the Lord
When at last I'll hear him say
Welcome faithful servant
Enter in the joy today

On the great day of the Lord
On the great day of the Lord

And every knee will bow
And every tongue confess
That you are Lord
Jesus, you are Lord

Yes, every knee will bow
And every tongue confess
That you are Lord
You alone are Lord

On the great day of the Lord
On the great day of the Lord

The sun rises like a bird
With healing in its wings
Shines the light of righteousness
On the broken and unclean
