Christ's Return

 

 

Christ is coming again in like manner
As the disciples saw Him go.
He's coming for His blood bought ones
Who watch and wait below.
Some would attempt to predict the day,
But no one knows just when,
Not even the angels in heaven,
Much less we mortal men.
Yet, as we discern the signs of the times,
We know His return is nigh;
Our glorious King is coming soon-
With a shout of the archangel on high.
The trumpet shall sound from heaven,
And the dead in Christ shall rise first;
Then those alive in Him shall be caught up-
No more suffering, hunger or thirst.
What a time of rejoicing it will be
When we meet our Lord in the air,
Singing hallelujahs - Glory to God,
Free from all trouble and care.
We mortals shall put on immortality
In the twinkling of an eye,
As we meet The King of Glory-
At that reunion in the sky.
Oh, what a glorious day that will be
When we see His wonderful face....
We'll praise Him throughout eternity
For His mercy and His grace.

 

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together
with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
(I Thes. 4:16-17)
