The Rapture


Have you ever thought how awesome
It will be when the trumpet sounds
The dead in Christ shall rise first
Then we too will leave the ground
We'll rise in the air to meet Him
Forever with Him we'll be
Caught up to meet our Saviour
The Christ of Calvary

Can you imagine the feeling
To float up through the air
Past the clouds and past the stars
Up in the atmosphere
Just think how changed we'll be
In order to make the flight
On our way to that beautiful city
Where Jesus is the light

A lot of critics don't believe
This can't happen so they say
How could millions of people
Suddenly be caught away
They don't believe the Bible
They say it isn't true
I don't care what men may say
I've a home beyond the blue

For Jesus said He would return
That He'd come back someday
He told us He would come and take
His waiting Bride away
Whether men believe or not
Doesn't matter at all you see
For I know one day my Jesus
Is coming back for me

It will happen as He said it would
It will happen in His time
People really need to see
Or they'll be left behind
Please listen to me now
Make things right today
Then when He does return to earth
You too will be caught away.
