Joel (The Watchman) Lyrics

Let the trumpet sound
For the coming King
The Almighty approaches
Let the whole world see


Wake up
This is really happening
The locusts devouring everything
The great and dreadful day of the Lord
Has fallen on the land
May you bear the mark of righteousness
We will not be forsaken
May your conviction stand to profess
We will not be forgotten


America, you will be judged
But His people will be restored
Fall to your knees
For there is life at the throne of God
You will be judged
Seek your mercy now
While it may still be found

Arise, take up your sword (and choose your side)
Tonight, prepare for battle
For the dream of God will come
From the lips of children
And His Spirit will pour out onto all flesh
You will see the sun black out
And the moon turned to blood
You will see the sun black out
And the moon turned to blood
Then you will know there is one God
And the Lᴏʀᴅ is His name


You will be judged
But His people will be restored
Fall to your knees
For there is life at the throne of God
You will be judged
But His people will be restored
Fall to your knees
For there is life at the throne of God
You will be judged
But His people will be restored

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
