Malachi 2

Streets are cold like a prophet's cry

Broken vows and questions why

Hearts turned from the flame inside

The altar’s ash where truth had died

Bring your best not the scraps you keep

Love ain't cheap and promises deep

I hear the echoes of ancient pain

Calling us back to the holy reign

Where's the love where's the fight

Where's the faith that lit the night

Robbing God with hands so bold

Silver coins but the soul's been sold

A covenant cracked a bride gone cold

But mercy waits like the prophets told

He's sending me prepare the way

Voice in the wild don't delay

Mountains crumble valley's rise

Glory falls from the darkest skies

Refined fire burning clean

Wash me pure unseen unseen

The King is coming bright and near

Turn your heart let Him appear

The book of Malachi

From dusty altars, offerings stained with scorn,

A broken covenant, a love that's been withdrawn.

Where is the honor due the Lord of Hosts demands,

As priests grow weary, with unclean, trembling hands.

Empty rituals, a hollow, heartless show,

While tithes are withheld, and blessings cease to flow.

Return to Me He pleads, with mercy in His voice,

Test Me in this matter, and make the righteous choice

The day is coming, burning like a fiery furnace,

Pride and wickedness consumed, leaving only remnants.

But for those who fear His name, a different fate awaits,

The Sun of Righteousness will rise, with healing in its rays.

Remember the Law of Moses, the statutes and decrees,

Before Elijah comes, to turn the hearts with ease.

Lest I come and strike the land with a curse so severe,

So listen to the warning, the time is drawing near

The book of Malachi

They call it smoke but it's ashes in the air

Promises broken hearts laid bare

Priests in the temple blind to the flame

Sacrifices offered but they're all in vein

Where is the love where is the fire

Have you traded truth for your own desires

You robbed me blind yet you ask how

With empty hands you take a vow

Your lips are loud but your hearts don't sing

You bring the shadows not the offering

Where is the trust where is the fear

The fire's waiting but you're not near

Return to me can't you see

You've been running running endlessly

I'm calling you back calling you home

The Sun will rise you won't be alone
