I am now getting older and gray.
Not much longer on earth do I plan to stay.
I believe His coming could be most any day; Then Christ will catch us away.
Each day we go our way,
Not always knowing what God's plan is for us today; But if we listen He will tell,
Then we know all will be well.
Of His coming I would not dare to guess, But He needs to soon to straighten out this mess.
When He has planned to come, I do not know; Occupy until you hear the trumpet blow.
His coming I have waited so long to see, A part of it I know I will be;
Oh, what a home going day.
Welcome home, I am waiting to hear Him say.
Could there be a little while yet to wait?
Can we win one more before it is too late?
We must tell everyone the good news; Every moment left we must wisely use.
His coming will be a time to rejoice, What joy when we hear His voice.
Come up here we will hear Him say, This is the day.
Whenever the coming of the Lord is, We will have a new body like His.
What a glorious change that will be, And Jesus we will finally see.
