When the King Comes Home

V5.5

[Intro] [Verse 1] I see the shadows growing long, I hear the nations cry The earth is trembling underneath, A dark, and restless sky But I will not be overcome, By sorrow, or by fear For every promise God has made, Says Christ our Lord is near [Verse 2] The prophets spoke of days to come, Of kingdoms set to fall Of Israel standing once again, Beneath the Father's call The fig tree blooms before our eyes The signs are drawing near And every warning in His Word, Still calls the lost to hear [Pre-Chorus] So lift your eyes Let faith arise The night will not last long The Lamb who died, Is glorified And heaven sings His song [Chorus] When the King comes home, Every knee shall bow Every voice proclaim, Jesus Christ is Lord When the trumpet sounds, We shall rise and sing Death will lose its claim, When we meet the King We are not afraid, We are not alone Hope is drawing near When the King comes home [Verse 3] The tribulation's hour will come, The world will shake with pain There are seals, and there are trumpets, There are bowls, of righteous flame But mercy still is reaching out, To every soul that calls His name And Christ will not forsake His own, Evil will not reign [Pre-Chorus] So lift your eyes Let faith arise The dawn is breaking through The Lord who came, Will come again And make all things new [Chorus] When the King comes home, Every knee shall bow Every voice proclaim, Jesus Christ is Lord When the trumpet sounds, We shall rise and sing Death will lose its claim, When we meet the King We are not afraid, We are not alone Hope is drawing near When the King comes home [Bridge] Then He shall reign in righteousness, A thousand years of peace The wounded earth will bloom again, And war and sorrow cease The lion rests beside the lamb, The child walks without fear The Prince of Peace upon His throne, And all creation healed [Choir Break] Holy, holy, holy, Worthy is the Lamb Glory, hallelujah, The Great I Am Holy, holy, holy, Let the heavens ring Blessing, power, honor, To our coming King [Verse 4] And when the final age has passed, And death is cast away A new earth shines beneath His light, A new and endless day No more tears and no more night, No grave beneath the ground The dwelling place of God with man, His glory all around [Final Chorus] When the King comes home, Every knee shall bow Every voice proclaim, Jesus Christ is Lord When the trumpet sounds, We shall rise and sing Death will lose its claim, When we meet the King No more fear, No more pain No more walking through the storm No more night, No more grave We are safe forevermore We are not afraid, We are not alone Hope is drawing near When the King comes home [Outro] We are going home We are going home When the King comes home
