[Spoken Intro] Once He came in humility. Once He wore the crown of thorns. Once the glory of the Son Was veiled behind our scorn. But heaven has not forgotten. The promise has not failed. The King who came to suffer Will return in glory unveiled! [Verse 1] They saw Him walking in the dust, The lowly Servant, strong and just. His glory hidden from their eyes, The Lord of earth beneath their skies. They mocked His name, they crowned His head, They watched Him suffer, watched Him bleed. But death could never hold the Son, The risen Christ, the Victorious One! [Pre-Chorus] The veil will fall! The clouds will part! The King will reign in every heart! No doubt, no fear, no final night— The Son of God will shine in might! [Chorus] CHRIST WILL APPEAR! THE KING IS COMING! Hear heaven's thunder, hear creation cry! CHRIST WILL APPEAR! His glory blazing! The Lord of lords will fill the sky! And when He comes, our night is over! The hidden life will shine like gold! WE SHALL APPEAR WITH CHRIST IN GLORY! The greatest story ever told! [Verse 2] No human chart can name the day, No mortal tongue can mark the way. The Father holds the hour unknown, But Christ will claim His promised throne! The angels gather at His side, The King returns in power and pride. The pierced will see, the proud will fall, And every nation hear His call! [Pre-Chorus] The veil will fall! The clouds will part! The King will reign in every heart! No doubt, no fear, no final night— The Son of God will shine in might! [Chorus] CHRIST WILL APPEAR! THE KING IS COMING! Hear heaven's thunder, hear creation cry! CHRIST WILL APPEAR! His glory blazing! The Lord of lords will fill the sky! And when He comes, our night is over! The hidden life will shine like gold! WE SHALL APPEAR WITH CHRIST IN GLORY! The greatest story ever told! [Verse 3] He knows the labor done unseen, The quiet faith, the heart made clean. What love has built will stand the flame, All empty works will lose their name. The faithful servants hear Him say, “You've been faithful along the way. Come share the joy prepared for you— My promises have all come true!” [Bridge — Building Intensity] No more rejection! No more shame! No more tears beneath His name! No more shadows! No more night! We shall see Him in His light! The scattered gathered! The broken whole! The risen Savior claims each soul! [Breakdown — Choir and Lead Vocal] LEAD: Who is coming? CHOIR: JESUS CHRIST! LEAD: Who will reign? CHOIR: THE LORD OF LIFE! LEAD: What is our hope? CHOIR: HIS GLORY APPEARING! LEAD: And what shall we be? CHOIR: LIKE HIM—WHEN WE SEE HIM! [Build — Full Band Returns] We do not know the hour! We do not know the day! But every word He promised Will never pass away! We watch! We wait! We lift our eyes! Our living hope will split the skies! [Final Chorus — Maximum Power] CHRIST WILL APPEAR! THE KING IS COMING! Let every kingdom hear the battle cry! CHRIST WILL APPEAR! His glory blazing! The Lord of lords will fill the sky! And when He comes, our night is over! Our faith made sight, our joy untold! WE SHALL APPEAR WITH CHRIST IN GLORY! No death can claim what He will hold! CHRIST WILL APPEAR! THE KING IS COMING! All praise to Jesus, reigning evermore! CHRIST WILL APPEAR! OUR HOPE, OUR GLORY! We shall behold the One we adore! [Outro — Choir, Slow and Triumphant] When Christ appears… We shall appear with Him. The night will end. The King will reign. And we shall see His face!
