SOUNDS OF THE TRUMPET

Excited to hear the trumpet sounds
As the Lord descends in the clouds,
The dead in Christ will rise from the
Grave, then we who are alive in him

Lifted high....instead of going down,
Jesus meets us in the air, oh what a
Glorious day it will be, and saints will
Get to see Him, as the scriptures are

Fulfilled just as foretold....a long time
Ago....we'll get our new bodies as we
Go from here; the world will say we've
Vanished, dissapeared without a trace,

That aliens took us up into space, and
Beyond our stars, they may even think
That we've gone to Mars or realms out
There to planets unknown, but you and

I will know, we've gone home to be with
GOD for all eternity, he'll reign supreme,
Lord of glory, matchless and holy, He is
The KING of Kings, Ruler, Messiah, and

Savior of great and small, HE is over all.
