The Judgment

All is still, Heaven is silent
As the Mighty Judge ascends the throne
The Book of Life is opened as countless souls begin to moan
From the throne comes a voice like thunder
"Depart, I know ye not"
"For the names written in this book are the very souls my blood has bought"

Faces turn as into the courtroom comes the very seed of sin
He who was the saint's accuser must face the charges against him
With the fury of all the ages that demon voice begins to cry
"It's not fair, I almost had you...on Golgotha I watched you die"
Then Satan begins to tremble as his fate to him was known
From the throne came the verdict
The Lake of Fire will be your home

And I see every knee is bowing, every hand in honor is raised
Every voice to Him is lifted, "thou art worthy, the Lamb be praised"
Angels standing at attention as the redeemed begin to sing
Heaven's courts resound their anthem
"You are our Savior, Lord and King"
Heaven's courts resound their anthem
"You are our Savior, Lord and King!
Thou art worthy, thou art worthy, the Lamb be praised!"

My favorite versions of this song are done by The Hooker Sisters on their album The Value of One and David Owen on his album Are You Ready
