I'll Be Back

One day up in Heaven, the Savior said goodbye

As He started on His journey, the holy angels cried

He turned to face His Father, and this they heard Him say

"Mankind owes a debt below that only I can pay"

So I'll be back (I'll be back)

I'll be back (ooh-ooh)

I'll be gone for a little while

But one day, I'm coming back

I'll be back

On His way to Jerusalem, Jesus told His men

"You'll see the Son betrayed there, there I'll be condemned

You'll see them mock Me and curse Me, you'll see me crucified

You'll see Me suffer in agony, and there you'll see Me die"

But I'll be back (I'll be back)

I'll be back (I'll be back)

Just a few short days, then I'll be back

And after they laid my sweet Jesus in the tomb (ooh-ooh)

He got up, took a trip down below (ooh-ooh)

To show the devil that he had lost the Bible for a man's soul (ah-ah)

And I believe that as He took the keys

He looked the devil right in the eye

He said, "The grave could not hold Me

I'm headed back to glory"

The devil just keep this in mind

I'll be back (I'll be back)

I'll be back (I'll be back)

I'll be gone for a season, oh boy (ooh)

But one day, I'm coming back

I'll be back

One day on a hillside, as Jesus rose up in the clouds

The words He spoke came flooding back

To some young men that cried

He said, "I go to prepare a place, but I'll be back again

Gonna take my people to a land where joy shall never end"

So I'll be back (I'll be back)

I'll be back (I'll be back)

I'll just be gone for a little while

One day, I'm coming back

Oh, I'll be back (I'll be back)

I'll be back (I'll be back)

I hope you're ready to meet Me

One day, I'm coming back

I'll be back (ooh-ooh)

"Christians don't lose faith

'Cause I'll be back"
