[Spoken Intro — Dark and Urgent] You do not know the hour. You cannot calculate the day. The King is coming. Are you awake? [Verse 1] They mark the seasons, count the years, Build their charts and feed their fears. But God has never told the day, No human hand can point the way. Don't twist His Word to fit your plan, Don't boast in what you cannot understand. The hour belongs to God alone— Prepare your heart to meet His throne! [Pre-Chorus] No month! No year! No secret sign! The Father's timing is divine! Stop your guessing, lift your eyes— The King will come and shake the skies! [Chorus] MIDNIGHT! MIDNIGHT! THE KING IS COMING! Wake from your slumber, hear the trumpet sound! MIDNIGHT! MIDNIGHT! THE LORD IS COMING! The sleeping world will feel the ground! No man can tell us when He'll appear, But every promise is drawing near! STAY AWAKE! KEEP THE FAITH! The King is coming—prepare the way! [Verse 2] The lamps burn low, the watchmen sleep, The vows grow weak, the shadows creep. The faithful wait, the careless stray, And midnight steals the night away. The servants quarrel, pride takes hold, The love grows faint, the hearts grow cold. But sudden as a thief at night, The King will break upon their sight! [Pre-Chorus] No month! No year! No secret sign! The Father's timing is divine! Stop your guessing, lift your eyes— The King will come and shake the skies! [Chorus] MIDNIGHT! MIDNIGHT! THE KING IS COMING! Wake from your slumber, hear the trumpet sound! MIDNIGHT! MIDNIGHT! THE LORD IS COMING! The sleeping world will feel the ground! No man can tell us when He'll appear, But every promise is drawing near! STAY AWAKE! KEEP THE FAITH! The King is coming—prepare the way! [Verse 3 — More Forceful] Not fear of dates, not charts of men, But faith that stands through thick and thin. Keep oil burning, guard your flame, Live every moment for His name. When others sleep, let faith arise, Keep watch beneath the midnight skies. Our hope is not in what we know— But in the Lord who said, “I go…” [Bridge — Half-Time, Heavy] You do not know! You do not see! The hour is held eternally! You cannot plan! You cannot claim! But Jesus Christ will come again! [Whispered Voice] At midnight… At the cock's crow… When the world is sleeping… He will come. [Breakdown — Choir and Lead] LEAD: Can we name the hour? CHOIR: NO! LEAD: Can we know the day? CHOIR: NO! LEAD: What do we know? CHOIR: HE WILL COME! LEAD: What is our hope? CHOIR: CHRIST THE SON! [Build — Full Band Returns] Then keep your lamp burning! Let your faith be strong! The night may be long, But the King won't be wrong! We wait for His glory! We stand on His Word! Our hope is not guessing— Our hope is the Lord! [Final Chorus — Maximum Power] MIDNIGHT! MIDNIGHT! THE KING IS COMING! Wake from your slumber, hear the trumpet sound! MIDNIGHT! MIDNIGHT! THE LORD IS COMING! Let every heart and soul bow down! No man can tell us when He'll appear, But our Redeemer is drawing near! STAY AWAKE! KEEP THE FAITH! The King is coming—prepare the way! HE WILL APPEAR! WE WILL APPEAR! With Christ in glory, forever near! HE WILL APPEAR! OUR HOPE IS SURE! His Word stands fast, His reign endures! [Outro — Choir, Slow and Triumphant] We know not the hour… But we know the King. We know not the day… But we know He will appear. And when He comes… We shall appear with Him in glory! [Spoken Series Outro] Inspired by a Sermon Gem from Charles Haddon Spurgeon.
