I DON'T KNOW THE DAY. by Cassidy C. Ezeogu — Lyrics
About I DON'T KNOW THE DAY.
"I Don't Know the Day" by Cassidy C. Ezeogu is a reflective hymn that speaks to the heart of Christian vigilance. The song captures the deep, personal longing of a believer waiting to see their "great King and Redeemer," acknowledging that while the exact hour of the Lord's return is a mystery, we are called to remain steadfast and prepared.
Arranged in a traditional strophic format, the verses build a moving declaration of faith. The choir sings of a hope built entirely on Jesus Christ—a bond that neither sadness nor death can break. As the verses progress, the lyrics shift from a personal plea of gratitude to a universal prayer for the whole world to believe and find peace.
This piece is especially fitting for the season of Advent, which centers on joyful anticipation and readiness, or for any liturgy focusing on the Second Coming and eternal life. The refrain's simple, earnest repetition—"He will come, I don't know the day... I must be ready"—serves as a gentle but firm reminder to the congregation to live each day in watchful, hopeful expectation.
