DAY OF RECKONING

© June 2003 Music by Shane McKenzie
Lyrics by Ann Bailey-Simmons

You thought you had me, now didn?t you
When you were in control
You thought you owned me, now didn?t you
So fragile and so small
You thought you?d use me, now didn?t you
?Til there was nothing left of me
Never held accountable, responsible, in any way

THE DAY OF RECKONING
You?ll be on your knees
THE DAY OF RECKONING
Pray somebody hears your pleas
THE DAY OF RECKONING
When we all stand alone
There will be pity, but the sins are your own

Have I told you, all the solitude
Gave me time to make a choice
All the anger and ridicule
Gave me strength to find my voice
And I should mention, in spite of you
Those demons were destroyed
The dignity preserved in me is flourishing, and I am sure

Chorus

So heaven help you, heal you, save you from yourself
Cuz there is no one to pardon you except for God himself
On that Day of Reckoning
You have to stand alone
Such a pity, all your sins have come home
