Malachi

He stepped in bold with fire on his tongue 
Malachi spoke where the prophets once sung
Promises broken like shattered old clay
He called for the faithful to find their way
Sacrifices flawed the priests gone astray
He saw the corruption a kingdom's decay
But hope lit the pages a covenant sworn
For the righteous a sunrise shall be reborn 
Let the storehouses open blessings will rain
But first turn your hearts cleanse the stain
Loyally tested through fire and coal
Refiner's touch shaping every soul
He painted a vision where justice will rule
The arrogant silenced the humble will fuel
The furnace of mercy the faithfuls design
Malachi foretold of a sacred sign
The book of Malachi echoes truth divine 
A messenger of warnings a spark in time
Calling out to the people hearts to refine
Through his words a faith to realign
Malachi spoke with fire in his veins 
Calling out the broken hearts in the pain
Priests went blind chasing silver and gold
His words like thunder  breaking chains of old 
Tables turn on the crooked ways
They robbed the spirit in their empty praise 
The prophet stood firm in the lion's den
Rebuking the cycle again and again 
Messenger of light came down through the scroll
Warning the people with a love so bold
The curse ain't the last word nah it's grace
A remnant rising to take their place
The storehouse waits if you bring it true
Tithes and offerings pouring out over you
The refiner's fire will burn what's fake
Pure hearts remain for the kingdoms sake
Return to me that's what he said
Wake the sleepers and raise the dead
Hearts of fathers to your sons you will bind
In this book the truth you'll find
