VERSE:
The rich man better enjoy his riches now.
A day will come when they're gone.
The goods he gathered during earthly life,
Will vanish in flames of blazing fire.
CHORUS:
The first will be last.
The last will be first.
The tables will all be turned,
At the Reckoning.
VERSE:
The scales of justice will find a balance,
When widows and orphans are crowned.
Men will be judged by their measure,
And merciful ones inherit heaven.
CHORUS:
The first will be last.
The last will be first.
The tables will all be turned,
At the Reckoning.
VERSE:
Angels will kneel down before the throne,
As sheep are separated from goats.
The prophets will receive their rewards.
The Son of Man will reign in glory.
CHORUS:
The first will be last.
The last will be first.
The tables will all be turned,
At the Reckoning.
BRIDGE:
Let the trumpet sound.
Let the trumpet sound.
Blessed are those,
Who wash their robes,
In the blood of the lamb.
Blessed are those,
Who wash their robes,
In the blood of the lamb.
Let the trumpet sound.
Let the trumpet sound.
VERSE:
The old order of things will pass away.
There will be no more pain or tears.
The Lord will be the everlasting light.
In Christ, every soul made alive.
CHORUS:
The first will be last.
The last will be first.
The tables will all be turned,
At the Reckoning.
TAG:
The tables will all be turned,
At the Reckoning.
