Lyrics
Verse 1
These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the word of the Lord, yeah
And these are the days of Your servant, Moses
Righteousness being restored
These are the days of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord!
Chorus
Say, behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun, at the trumpet's call
Lift your voice, it's the year of Jubilee
Out of Zion's hill, salvation comes
Verse 2
And these are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days of Your servant, David
Rebuilding the temple of praise
And these are the days of the harvest
The fields are all white in the world
And we are the laborers that are in Your vineyard
Declaring the Word of the Lord
Chorus (Repeat) (x2)
Behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet's call
Lift your voice, it's the year of Jubilee
Out of Zion's hill, salvation comes
Bridge (x6)
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
Chorus (Repeat) (x2)
Behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun, at the trumpet's call
Lift your voice, it's the year of Jubilee
Out of Zion's hill, salvation comes

Meaning & Inspiration
“Days of Elijah” by Donnie McClurkin, with the refrain “There Is No God Like Jehovah,” looks at the present as a time that echoes the days of the prophets. It names Elijah declaring the word of the Lord, Moses and righteousness restored, and the voice in the desert crying “Prepare ye the way of the Lord,” a line from Isaiah 40:3 that the Gospels apply to John the Baptist.
The next verse refers to Ezekiel and the dry bones becoming flesh, which is the vision of Ezekiel 37, and to David rebuilding the temple of praise. It also describes the harvest, with fields white and laborers in the vineyard.
The chorus is about the coming of Christ, “riding on the clouds, shining like the sun, at the trumpet’s call,” and a year of Jubilee, with salvation coming out of Zion, which recalls Revelation 1:7. The refrain “There’s no God like Jehovah” repeats at length. The message is expectation of Christ’s return and confidence in God’s power.
