I am the God Who made you small
I am the God Who is all in all
I have kept you through the years
And if you look, I am still here
These are days like you’ve not known
Come reverently, come you alone
Do not expect what’s been before
These are the days of The Lord
The glory that was in past days
Now seems emptiness always
Hold up your heart of poverty
Not to the past, but to Me
These are days like you’ve not known
Come reverently, come you alone
Do not expect what’s been before
In these days look to The Lord
Disappointed and betrayed
Things you hoped for slipped away
Look around at all the change
And you’ll see that I am the same
These are days like you’ve not known
Come reverently, come you alone
Do not expect what’s been before
God has not less to come, but more
Sitting lonely and alone
Far away from love you’ve known
Never doubt that I am there
With you, every tear to share
These are days like you’ve not known
Come reverently, come you alone
Do not expect what’s been before
These are the days of The Lord
