What Would He See


If Jesus were to come back today
I wonder what He would hear us say
Would He hear us shout with glee
For Him we are so glad to see
Would He smile because He hears
All the shouts and all the cheers
As He came through the Eastern Sky
To take His bride with Him on high

Would He see his children going forth
Sharing the gospel, that spiritual birth
Would He see us loving our neighbour each day
And blessing each one that comes our way
Would he see us doing all we can do
Making sure that to Him we are true
Doing His will at any cost
Seeking all those who are lost

Or would He find us sitting idly by
Listening to lost humanity cry
As they travel down the path to hell
Needing someone with good news to tell
Or find us so concerned with our need
That we have no time for others to feed
Is that what He would see today
If He came to catch His bride away

We need to remember that He will come
One day to call His bride home
He is coming for a bride prepared
To meet Him when He does appear
Will we be a bride who will stand
Assured, with confidence at His hand
And take our place by His side
His beautiful, pure, spotless bride
