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
