He's Coming Back

                                                "For the Lord himself will come down
                                                 from heaven, with a loud command,
                                                 with the voice of the archangel and with
                                                 the trumpet call of God, and the dead in
                                                 Christ will rise first.

                                                 After that, we who are still alive and are
                                                 left will be caught up together with them
                                                 in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
                                                 And so we will be with the Lord forever."
                                                                                  1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

                                                             He's Coming Back

                                                        (Verse One)
                                                        "Sometimes, we get discouraged
                                                         Troubles and failures in life pull us down
                                                         Sometimes, we get worried
                                                         After all we've sinned, how could He love us now?

                                                         But my friend, don't doubt His mercy
                                                         His grace and power can make the sinner clean (*1)
                                                         Right now, He reigns in glory
                                                         Interceding for you and me (*2)
                                                         Don't you know He died to set us free?

                                                            
                                                         (Chorus)
                                                         He's coming back
                                                         He's coming back
                                                         Don't you worry my friend
                                                         He's coming back

                                                         May be the morning
                                                         May be the nighttime
                                                         But don't you worry my friend
                                                         He's coming back


                                                        (Verse two)
                                                         Sometimes, we get worried
                                                         Sometimes, it seems we just won't make it through
                                                         But my friend, He is faithful (*3)
                                                         He will finish what He started out to do (*4)

                                                         So keep your eyes on the horizon
                                                         For soon we're gonna fly away
                                                         Someday, we'll be together
                                                         We will meet Him in the air (*5)
                                                         All of His glory we will share (*6)

                                                         (Chorus)
                                                         He's coming back
                                                         He's coming back
                                                         Don't you worry my friend
                                                         He's coming back

                                                         May be the morning
                                                         May be the nighttime (*7)
                                                         Don't you worry my friend
                                                         He's coming back (*8)


                                                         We're gonna fly away
                                                         We're gonna fly away
                                                         We're gonna fly away"
