Been Waiting

A Song

I’ve been waiting for your promise, Lord.

I’ve been waiting for the trump to sound.

To hear you shout and the archangel’s voice.

I keep dreaming, we are caught up in the clouds on high, to meet you in the atmosphere.

Caught up, in the clouds on high.

Oh! to see you, as your Father’s throne appears.

Come Lord Jesus, you have made this pledge.

Come Lord, Come Lord, your Spirit and your bride say come.

You have gone away but you will come again.

When you appear, we will be like you Lord, we shall see you as you really are, Jesus, Oh Jesus!

Expecting your appearing purifies our heart, even as you are pure, we will be like you, Lord Jesus.

Our hearts are fixed on you, hope in you purifies us, just as you are pure, Oh, Son of God.

Worthy are you Lord, worthy are you Lord.

Worthy are you Lord, worthy are you Lord.

Times and seasons, we need not be reminded, a thief in the night for those in darkness.

We are children of light, we are children of the day, the day of the Lord will not overtake us.

We fall not in slumber, our eyes our open, we watch and pray, keeping our mind sober.

Your faithfulness is the strength of our salvation, our confidence is in God’s eternal kingdom.

Not afraid of God’s wrath to come, you have promised us eternal salvation.

You have gone away but you will come again.

When you appear, we will be like you Lord, we shall see you as you really are, Jesus, Oh Jesus!

Expecting your appearing purifies our heart, even as you are pure, we will be like you, Lord Jesus.

Our hearts are fixed on you, hope in you purifies us, just as you are pure, Oh, Son of God.

Worthy are you Lord, worthy are you Lord.

Worthy are you Lord, worthy are you Lord.

I’ve been waiting Lord, for my body to change.

I’ve been waiting Lord, for immortality and incorruption.

To never see my body decay, to live everlasting to everlasting.

How wonderful it will be to be like you Jesus.

To finally be glorified, salvation completed.

In the twinkling of an eye, in a moment of time, we will be changed.

All at once, very quickly, the dead before us, salvation completed, all glory to Jesus.

The mystery revealed so long ago, salvation made whole, body, soul and spirit.

You have gone away but you will come again.

When you appear, we will be like you Lord, we shall see you as you really are, Jesus, Oh Jesus!

Expecting your appearing purifies our heart, even as you are pure, we will be like you, Lord Jesus.

Our hearts are fixed on you, hope in you purifies us, just as you are pure, Oh, Son of God.

Worthy are you Lord, worthy are you Lord.

Worthy are you Lord, worthy are you Lord.

Heaven’s door is open, come up here, will be the call.

Father sitting on his throne, shinning with the aura of jasper, emanating like sardine stone.

A rainbow of emerald encircling it, lightning, thunder, voices and sparkling crystal.

Twenty-four elders seated in honor, robed in white and crowned in gold.

Seven lamps emblazing, the sevenfold Spirit.

Four living creatures all covered in eyes, young bull, flying eagle, the face of a man and a lion, six wings each were given.

Waiting for the Lion of Judah, waiting to see the Lamb who was slain.

Worthy to take the scroll and unlock its seals.

Oh God you were slain, and now we have no more pain.

Worthy are you Lord, worthy are you Lord.

You have gone away but you will come again.

When you appear, we will be like you Lord, we shall see you as you really are, Jesus, Oh Jesus!

Expecting your appearing purifies our heart, even as you are pure, we will be like you, Lord Jesus.

Our hearts are fixed on you, hope in you purifies us, just as you are pure, Oh, Son of God.

Worthy are you, Oh Lord! Worthy are you Lord.

Worthy are you, Oh Lord! Worthy are you Lord.
