[Intro - gathering call] Gather together, gather near, O nation without the blush of fear. Before the decree gives birth to the day, Before the chaff is blown away. [Verse 1] Before fierce anger crosses the land, Before the hour no wall can withstand, Come from the market, field, and street; Lay down the pride beneath your feet. [Verse 2] Seek the LORD, Seek what is right. Seek the meek path Before the night. [Chorus] Seek righteousness, seek meekness, All who have kept his judgment in weakness. Perhaps you may be hidden away In the fierce approach of the LORD's own day. Seek righteousness, seek meekness, Not outward ash with inward secrets. Gather together while mercy still calls; Bend before truth before judgment falls. [Verse 2] The decree is not sleeping, the hour is not late, The wind already moves at the edge of the gate. No nation is healed by refusing its shame, No mouth is restored by avoiding the name. [Bridge] Not wealth, Not rank, Not walls, Not blame. A humble heart Must seek his name. [Chorus - final] Seek righteousness, seek meekness, All who have kept his judgment in weakness. Perhaps you may be hidden away In the fierce approach of the LORD's own day. Seek righteousness, seek meekness, The road is narrow, the summons is gracious. Gather together while mercy still calls; Bend before truth before judgment falls. [Outro] Before the chaff flies, Seek.
