The song “Days of Elijah” is a worship song popularized by Robin Mark. It was included on his album Room for Grace [Live] released in 1997. The songwriters are Edgardo Santiago, Jose Luis Abreu, and Orlando Mendez. The copyright for the original song is held by Integrity Music. It’s been subsequently performed by many other artists and has been a popular song for churches that incorporate contemporary music into their worship. The lyrics are below, followed by some different video performances of the song.
The general message of the song is to proclaim that we are presently living in Biblical days which are unfolding through tumultuous times (the end days) where the greatness of God, and a flood of revival will sweep the earth and bring salvation.
One of the performances below is of American Marines singing the song during a church service. The U.S. military offers religious meetings for a variety of service members to support the various religious practices and beliefs of diverse military personnel. So, the video does not reflect an exclusive institutional or government endorsement of Christianity. However, there are some people who believe the United States was founded by Christians and is ‘called by God’ to bring the message of the Gospel to the world through humanitarian works, missionary work, or military force. That’s not a widely held belief, but it’s worth mentioning for clarification because the blending of religious fervor, government entities, and the military is something that some people find troubling. The video of the Marines is simply part of a typical church service and similar to how the song would be sung during a worship service. See the Paul Wilber below that as an example.
“Days of Elijah” – Lyrics
These are the days of Elijah,
Declaring the word of the Lord
And these are the days of Your servant Moses,
Righteousness being restored.
And though these are days of great trial,
Of famine and darkness and sword,
Still, we are the voice in the desert crying
“Prepare ye the way of the Lord!”
Behold He comes riding on the clouds,
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call,
Lift your voice, it’s the year of jubilee,
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes.
These are the days of Ezekiel,
The dry bones becoming as flesh,
And these are the days of Your servant David,
Rebuilding a temple of praise.
These are the days of the harvest,
The fields are as white in Your world,
And we are the labourers in Your vineyard,
Declaring the word of the Lord!
Behold He comes riding on the clouds,
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call,
Lift your voice, it’s the year of jubilee,
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes.
There’s no God like Jehovah.
There’s no God like Jehovah!
There’s no God like Jehovah.
There’s no God like Jehovah!
There’s no God like Jehovah.
There’s no God like Jehovah!
There’s no God like Jehovah.
There’s no God like Jehovah!
There’s no God like Jehovah.
There’s no God like Jehovah!
There’s no God like Jehovah.
There’s no God like Jehovah!
There’s no God like Jehovah.
There’s no God like Jehovah!
There’s no God like Jehovah, hey!
Behold He comes riding on the clouds,
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call,
Lift your voice, it’s the year of jubilee,
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes.
Behold He comes riding on the clouds,
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call,
Lift your voice, it’s the year of jubilee,
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes.
Behold He comes riding on the clouds,
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call,
Lift your voice, it’s the year of jubilee,
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes.
Behold He comes riding on the clouds,
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call,
Lift your voice, it’s the year of jubilee,
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes.
Lift your voice, it’s the year of jubilee,
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes.
