I can still remember when I first heard this song. I was a young mom, catching a quick break to listen to a popular radio program at the time. At the very end the radio personality would often play a song. When he played this one, it really struck a chord within me. I still love this song today because it reminds me that Christ could return for us at any moment! How quickly we get caught up in our own lives, forgetting this glorious truth!
None of us have any way of knowing when that day will be, but I can guarantee you that it’s closer now than it’s ever been. Each day moves us one step closer. Oh, may we live in light of this wonderful truth–Jesus could come today!
(You can hear this song here. It is a beautiful song, well worth the few minutes of time.)
THIS COULD BE THE DAY In these days so dark and faithless As the plan of God unfolds Christian, won’t you help the helpless? Won’t you feed their hungry souls? Brother, sister, time is short now Serve in love, live by faith For the things of earth are passing This could be the day! This could be the day that the Lord returns in glory!This could be the day that He calls His children home! So be faithful in service As you watch and pray For this, Oh, this This could be the day! In these days of desperation when it’s so hard to live right Turn away from all temptation you must fight against the night Brother, sister, time is short now Serve in love, live by faith For the things of earth are passing This could be the day! This could be the day that the Lord returns in glory!
This could be the day that He calls His children home! So be faithful in service As you watch and pray For this, Oh, this This could be the day! We must give of our lives For in the wink of an eye He will come He will come for His bride! This could be the day that the Lord returns in glory!
This could be the day that He calls His children home! So be faithful in service As you watch and pray For this, Oh, this This could be the day! This could be the day!
