Malachi
by Michael Card

Album: An Invitation to Awe

You don't honor Me as Father
Nor reverence Me as Lord
So set aside your sacrifice
Shut and bolt the temple door
Before 400 silent years
They're lonely words, but true
The burden of the Word of God
Oh how I have loved you

Your broken faith
Your broken vows
The empty songs you sing
You bore Me with your lengthy prayers
And bribe Me with your offerings

I'm weary of the worthless words
You worship Me with lies
Your life's an endless emptiness
And still you keep asking why?

And I will send Elijah
And he will prepare the way
And who can stand when he appears
And who can endure
Who can endure
Who can endure that day?

I the Lord will never change
So bow in reverent fear
Remembering all who honor Me
See all your names are written here
No matter what you feel or say
No matter what you do
The moment you return to Me
The moment you return to Me
I will return to you

And I will send Elijah
And he will prepare the way
And who can stand when he appears
And who can endure
Who can endure
Who can endure that day?
