Put On the Lord Jesus Christ
Romans · Organic House
[Intro]
The lamps are low, but the east has begun;
the hour has spoken: awaken, awaken.
[Verse 1]
Let every debt be settled but one,
the love that is owed when the counting is done.
No theft, no violence, no coveting claim;
love does no harm and completes the command.
[Chorus]
The night is far spent, the day is at hand.
Cast off the darkness; in bright armor stand.
Salvation is nearer than when we believed.
Put on the Lord Jesus Christ and be seen.
[Verse 2]
Walk in the daylight, honest and clear,
not ruled by the feast, by the quarrel, or fear.
Make no provision for hunger that reigns;
wear the true Name through the streets of the day.
[Bridge]
Awake from sleep.
The sky is changing.
Love is the law
that morning is naming.
[Chorus]
The night is far spent, the day is at hand.
Cast off the darkness; in bright armor stand.
Salvation is nearer than when we believed.
Put on the Lord Jesus Christ and be seen.
[Outro]
One debt of love.
One garment of light.
