Analysis of THE LION'S GONNA ROAR
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
THE LION'S GONNA ROAR !
In the midnight hour,
Like a thief in the night
The Lord returns in Power,
Itching for a fight
Choose you this day
Just where you stand
Cause the King is on His way
The roar echoes through the land
The Lion's gonna roar
Shake the earth to the core
Like nothing seen before,
When the Lion starts to roar
Long ago the Lamb
Laid His life down
The Son, the I Am
Wore the thorny crown
For our sins He hung
Silent sacrifice for sin
The battle then begun
The roar echoes that we win!
The Lion's gonna roar
Shake the earth to the core
Like nothing seen before,
When the Lion starts to roar
The Lamb was silent, a Lion now
For Salvation was He slain
He returns with a victorious Growl
Lamb, Lion, King victorious to reign
I choose to fall to my knees
Pledge my life into His hands
My spirit flies as it's free
And His Roar echoes through the land
The Lion's gonna roar
Shake the earth to the core
Like nothing seen before,
When the Lion starts to roar
AMEN
