THE TRUMPET SOUND
Waiting, watching, listening for the
Trump to sound announcing Christ
The King...in the twinkling of an eye,
We'll be changed and lifted high, no
Need to pack our bags or grab our
Clothes, we'll meet him in the air...
And be clothed in pure white robes
To be carried home, never more to
Roam, maybe midnight, morning or
Noon, we're not sure when, though
We know he's coming soon, no time
To worry, doubt or fret...be ready for
The trumpet blast, it'll come so fast,
Don't waste your thoughts on sorrow
Or regret, Jesus is coming, it's not too
Late yet, make sure you know where
You'll go, by believing, confessing, and
Receiving the Savior, who forgives your
Sin, he'll give you a new heart...eternity
With him that'll never end; the final story...
Redemption's glory, through Jesus Christ,
LORD of Lords and KING of kings!
