Matthew 22:15-22

Dr. Rodney Reeves

Choral Worship

In-a That Day

In-a that day the heavens will open,

In-a that day a-look to the sky,

In-a that day a-we will behold Him

Descending from on high.

In-a that day the proud will be humbled,

In-a that day the stars will fall.

In-a that day, the day of His coming,

In-a that day we see the Lord of all.

Then we’ll sing an alleluia, praises to the Great I Am!

Gathered at the throne of heaven, cryin’ “Worthy is the Lamb.”

O glory! In-a that day the trumpet will sound out,

In-a that day, the saints will rejoice,

In-a that day the angels will shout out,

And we will lift our voice!

In-a that day the towers will crumble,

In-a that day the King will call,

In-a that day, the day of His coming,

In-a that day that lasts forever,

We will be together singin’ to the Lord of all.

In-a that day!
