The follow-up album to the debut CD Take My Life by Australian band Garage Hymnal, Bring on the Day explores the Christian response to suffering in a fallen world. The collection of songs draws on the "now but not yet" theme of dealing with tragedy in the knowledge that God's promised kingdom is yet to be fulfilled.

This theme is woven throughout the album, with a plea to God for deliverance in 'How Long?' and 'Call for Mercy', coupled with the assurance of His faithfulness in 'Father Mercy' and 'Promises'. Two rock anthems, 'Bring on the Day' and 'Come Lord', call for the speeding on of the day of judgment and salvation. A new version of the classic hymn 'It is Well' completes the album, serving as a reminder to trust in God in all of life's situations - good and bad.
