that great day

take my riches--take my fame

take the microphone--take the stage

take my glory--take my name

take

take

take

take

take it away

suffer now--later we'll reign

and that applies to the saints that went against the grain

life is hard but amidst the pain

you know the saints fight hard

we anticipate

that great day

when god applauds there'll be no remorse and no shame

everything you thought you lost

you'll regain

and you'll get rewards because you behaved

let me make it plain

all of the faithful saints will get paid

to prove your commitment to god is not vain

then we'll get to enter the joy of our king

when i see his face

not worried bout the things he'll say

i'll get my reward

i know i kept the faith

and now i see the christ my king

and he is my reward

no

no

no this ain't home

keep your platinum

keep your gold

keep your black card and your patron

none of that matters when i'm gone

and i'm at his throne

silver

gold and precious stones

was i faithful? was my goal

yahweh's glory or my own?

actors act for a golden globe

rappers rap for award shows

platinum plaques and pure gold

our reward is christ alone--christ alone

when i say so long

the finale is finally--i'll be home

my work and it's quality will be shown

eternally

christ the king will be known

blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial

for when he has stood the test

he will receive the crown of life

which god has promised those who love him

and when the chief shepherd appears

you will receive the unfading crown of glory

now

every athlete exercises self control in all things

and they do this to receive a perishable wreath

but we--a crown imperishable

hence forth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness

which the lord

the righteous judge

will reward to me

in that great day
