The world now scoffs when we say Christ is coming.
"You are far too radical," they say.
"You might plant a bomb, or start a war—
Your kids in school might pray—
At the very least, you are in our way!"
One day they just might throw you into prison;
If Christ should tarry, it just might get gory.
Don’t give up! Keep the faith.
Stand fast in liberty.
For Christ is coming back in all His glory!
Chorus:
His second coming is still coming, no matter what they say,
When Jesus Christ will leave His throne to catch His Bride away.
The Truth’s still true, the Word’s the word, so read it and obey!
Keep your bags packed—He may be back today!
There’s been a change in many pastors’ preaching:
They still speak of God’s great love and grace,
But the Rapture’s gone, no warning here—
It’s lost its rightful place.
It might offend and churches might lose face.
Although the world might think that it is foolish,
And many Christians may feel the same way too.
Don’t give up! Keep the faith.
You know what to do:
Lift up your head—He’s coming back for you!
