One day


 

Philippians 2:9-10 New English Translation (NET Bible)

9 As a result God highly exalted him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus
every knee will bow
—in heaven and on earth and under the earth—

 

One day

 

You can call me anything - The first is now the last

Names will come and go as in a moment begotten

Temporal shows everything – somewhere in a cast

For all just to know and soon in time be forgotten

 

Calendars show importance but just for a moment

Different trouble steals the day to be soon shoved aside

The only stuff a hindrance is scarred before the atonement

That someone else has paid for the wrong and right

 

Days won’t grind to a halt until judgment numbs

Then all will be assorted and put in the proper place

Some will be appalled while others hear the drum

As from life aborted they’ll exit the human space
