Great day!
Great day, the righteous marching,
Great day!
God’s gonna build up Zion’s walls.
Chariot rode on the mountain top,
God’s gonna build up Zion’s walls.
God, He spoke and the chariot stop,
God’s gonna build up Zion’s walls.
This is the day of Jubilee,
God’s gonna build up Zion’s walls.
The Lord done set His people free,
God’s gonna build up Zion’s walls.
Gon’ take my breast-plate, sword and shield,
God’s gonna build up Zion’s walls.
Stand my ground out in the field.
God’s gonna build up Zion’s walls.
Want no cowards in our band,
God’s gonna build up Zion’s walls.
March out boldly through the land,
God’s gonna build up Zion’s walls.
