What will you do?

Copyright 1988, R. J. Brown


I know that the word
Of the LORD is true,
And it says in His word
He's coming back for the chosen few.
And when He comes, I know I'll go,
But how about you?
When Jesus parts the eastern skies,
My friend, what will you do?

The dead in Christ shall leave their graves.
The oceans' dead depart the waves.
The saints alive shall hear the sound
Of Gabriel's horn and leave the ground.
There'll be a meeting in the air
With Jesus who will take us where
We'll never shed another tear
'Cause praise to God is all we'll hear.

I know that the word
Of the LORD is true,
And it says in His word
He's coming back for the chosen few.
And when He comes, I know I'll go,
But how about you?
When Jesus parts the eastern skies,
My friend, what will you do?

I'll go to where my mansion stands,
And leave this world of sinking sands
Behind me while I fly away
To no more night and endless day.
I'll worship Jesus on the throne;
He is the only one, alone.
His blade he never needs to hone.
His two-edged sword cuts to the bone.

I know that the word
Of the LORD is true,
And it says in His word
He's coming back for the chosen few.
And when He comes, I know I'll go,
But how about you?
When Jesus parts the eastern skies,
My friend, what will you do?

The saints of God, on bended knee,
Thank Him for their salvation free
To them, but what a cost paid He
To redeem sinners lost like me!
Believe His word, die out to sin,
Be washed in blood 'twas shed by Him,
And then His spirit enters in
With evidence of tongues therein.

I know that the word
Of the LORD is true,
And it says in His word
He's coming back for the chosen few.
And when He comes, I know I'll go,
But how about you?
When Jesus parts the eastern skies,
My friend, what will you do?
