SWEET SONGS
THE KING IS COMING
(a wonderful song my mother and I sang in church when I was in elementary school)
I thank God daily for the angel He sent to be my mother.
1. THE MARKET PLACE IS EMPTY,
NO MORE TRAFFIC IN THE STREETS,
ALL THE BUILDERS TOOLS ARE SILENT,
NO MORE TIME TO HARVEST WHEAT;
BUSY HOUSEWIVES CEASE THEIR LABORS,
IN THE COURTROOM NO DEBATE,
WORK ON EARTH IS ALL SUSPENDED AS THE
KING COMES THROUGH THE GATE! (CHORUS)
2.ALL THE RAILROAD CARS ARE EMPTY,
AS THEY RATTLE DOWN THE TRACKS,
IN THE NEWSROOM NO ONE WATCHES
AS MACHINES TYPE POINTLESS FACTS;
ALL THE PLANES VEER OFF THEIR COURSES,
NO ONE SITS AT THE CONTROLS,
FOR THE KING OF ALL THE AGES
COMES TO CLAIM ETERNAL SOULS! (CHORUS)
3.HAPPY FACES LINE THE HALLWAYS,
THOSE WHOSE LIVES HAVE BEEN REDEEMED,
BROKEN HOMES THAT HE HAS MENDED,
THESE FROM PRISON HE HAS FREED,
LITTLE CHILDREN, AND THE AGED
HAND IN HAND STAND ALL AGLOW
WHO WERE CRIPPLED, BROKEN,RUINED,
CLAD IN GARMENTS WHITE AS SNOW! (CHORUS)
4. I CAN HEAR THE CHARIOTS RUMBLE,
I CAN SEE THE MARCHING THRONG,
THE FLURRY OF GOD'S TRUMPETS
SPELL THE END OF SIN AND WRONG:
REGAL ROBES ARE NOW UNFOLDING
HEAVEN'S GRANDSTAND'S ALL IN PLACE
HEAVEN'S CHOIR IS NOW ASSEMBLED
START TO SING AMAZING GRACE! (CHORUS)
CHORUS: OH, THE KING IS COMING,
THE KING IS COMING,
I JUST HEARD THE TRUMPET SOUNDING,
AND NOW HIS FACE I SEE!
OH, THE KING IS COMING,
THE KING IS COMING,
PRAISE GOD! HE'S COMING FOR ME!
Thank you for this wonderful memory, mom!
JESUS WILL OUTSHINE THEM ALL
OH WHAT GLORY AWAITS ME
IN HEAVEN'S BRIGHT CITY
WHEN I GET THERE
SUCH SIGHTS I'LL BEHOLD!
A MILLION SCENES OF RARE BEAUTY
WILL DEMAND THAT I VIEW THEM
STILL JESUS WILL OUTSHINE THEM ALL!
CHORUS:
OOOHHH, MANSIONS WILL GLISTEN
ON THE HILLS OF GLORY
HAPPY REUNIONS ON STREETS OF GOLD
ANGEL CHOIRS SINGING
GLAD PRAISES FOREVER
BUT JESUS WILL OUTSHINE THEM ALL!!
THE SPARKLING RIVER IS FLOWING
HAPPY FACES ALL GLOWING
LAND OF SPLENDOR
WHERE NIGHT NEVER FALLS
THE GOLDEN GLASS GIVES REFLECTION
OF THAT CITY'S PERFECTION
STILL, JESUS WILL OUTSHINE IT ALL!!
