The Lord responded,
“Don’t say, ‘I’m only a child.’
Where I send you, you must go;
what I tell you, you must say.

Hey there, Jeremiah — have you heard?

God, Herself, would like to have a word

Your sacred mission has been confirmed

Oh, it’s quite a job

Charlatans and liars rule the land

But Jeremiah — they don’t understand

The truth is coming from God’s own hand

And oh, it’s gonna hit ’em hard

Oh…

For the love of God

There’s gonna to be a reckoning

A terrible miracle

Like nothing you’ve ever seen

Ready or not

Every idol’s gonna fall

From the flag to the altar call

From sea to shining sea

Till they’re all gone…

For the love of God

Don’t fret, Jeremiah — God is near

Just tell the people what they need to hear

Explain the vision and have no fear

Oh, you’re not alone

God will place the words inside your mouth

And in the darkness, you must cry aloud

The lies and secrets will be found out

Oh, ‘fore it’s said and done

Oh…

For the love of God

There’s gonna be a reckoning

A terrible miracle

Like nothing you’ve ever seen

Ready or not

Every idol’s gonna fall

From the flag to the altar call

From sea to shining sea

Till they’re all gone…

For the love of God

How long, how long…

How long, how long…

How long, how long…

How long….

For the love of God

There’s gonna be a reckoning

A terrible miracle

Like nothing you’ve ever seen

Ready or not

Every idol’s gonna fall

From the flag to the altar call

From sea to shining sea

Till they’re all gone…

Oh, for the love…

…for the love of…

…for the love of God.
