The King Is Coming

At the first time He came He came as a helpless little baby And few noticed But the next time, the next time He comes my friends He is going to come as king of kings and lord of lords And the marketplace in downtown Atlanta New York, Chicago, Paris, London Are all going to be empty, no more traffic in the streets And the plumbers tools are going to be silent No more time to harvest wheat Busy housewives cease their labor In the courtroom, no more debate Because work on earth has been suspended, my friend And the King, the King is going to be coming through the gate The King is coming The King is coming I just heard the trumpet sounding And now His face I see The King is coming The King is coming Praise God, He's coming for me What a site, what a site Happy face line in the hallway Happy face line in the hallway Those whose lives have been redeemed (broken homes) Broken homes that He has mended Those from prison, He set free Little children and the aged Hand in hand stand all aglow Those who were crippled, broken, ruined Clad in garments white as snow The King is coming (the King is coming) The King is coming (the King is coming) I just heard the trumpet sounding And now His face I see The King is coming The King is coming Praise God, He's coming for me If you believe that tonight, I want you to get your hands together In praise and celebration, for the king of kings, the Lord of Lords The Prince of Peace, forever and ever I can hear the chariots rumble I can see the marching throng And the flurry of God's trumpets Spell the end to sin and wrong Regal robes are now unfolding Heaven's grandstands all in place Heaven's choir is now assembled And start to sing amazing grace, oh The King is coming The King is coming I just heard the trumpet sounding And now His face I see Oh-oh-oh The King is coming The King is coming Praise God, He's coming for me Praise God, He's coming for me! Why not? Why not?
