Lyrics · Joel
The Valley of Decision
Joel 3:1-16
[Oracle]
They divided the land and gambled for lives,
Carried the silver to temples of lies.
[Refrain]
Gather the nations, let the valley receive them,
The harvest is ripe and the winepress is full.
[Oracle]
Names became prices, the captive was sold,
Distance concealed what the market had done.
Multitudes, multitudes, decision is near,
[Refrain]
Gather the nations, let the valley receive them,
The harvest is ripe and the winepress is full.
[People]
Not human election, but judgment made clear.
The sun folds away and the heavens are shaken,
The LORD roars from Zion; the proud are awakened.
What was scattered is called from the coast,
[Bridge]
What was hidden is counted before the Judge.
He is refuge and strength when the earth loses voice,
[Coda]
The valley of decision belongs to the LORD.
Gather the nations, let the valley receive them,
The harvest is ripe and the winepress is full.
