Verse 1
Picture the day when the curtain falls down
And you’re standing before the great throne and the crown
Will you hear a voice that is gentle and sweet?
Saying, "Come to my side, your journey’s complete
You walked in the light, you fought for the right
Enter into your rest tonight."
Chorus
Oh, what will you see on that final day?
When the shadows of earth all fade away?
Will it be a welcome, a beautiful grace,
Or a sudden demand to look truth in the face?
Verse 2
Or do you believe you can stand in that place
And weave a smooth lie to the Master of grace?
Can you look at the Lord and pretend you were true,
Claiming righteous the things that you chose to do?
Do you think a few words can cover the stain,
And buy you a rescue from sorrow and pain?
Chorus
Oh, what will you see on that final day?
When the shadows of earth all fade away?
Will it be a welcome, a beautiful grace,
Or a sudden demand to look truth in the face?
Bridge
Imagine the courtroom, the gavel, the light
No secrets to hide in the safety of night
With a soul heavy-laden, drowning in cost
Remembering every commandment you lost
A perfect reflection, unyielding and clear,
Of all of the choices that brought you right here...
Outro
So look at the road you are walking today
Before the great curtain is pulled far away
What will you see?
What will it be?
