The king is coming
Praise God, He's coming for me
The marketplace is emptyNo more traffic in the streetAll the builder's tools are silentNo more time to harvest wheatBusy housewives cease their laborIn the courtroom no debateWork on earth has been suspendedAs the King comes through the gate
Happy faces line the hallwayThose whose lives have been redeemedBroken homes He has mendedThose from prison He has freedLittle children and the agedHand in hand stand all a-glowWho were crippled, broken, ruinedClad in garments white as snow
(Chorus)The King is coming, the King is comingI just heard the trumpet soundingAnd soon His face I'll seeThe King is coming, the King is comingPraise God, He's coming for me
I can hear the chariot's rumbleI can see the marching throngAnd the fury of God's trumpetSpells the end of sin and wrongRegal rolls are now unfoldedHeaven's grandstands all in placeHeaven's choir is now assembledStart to sing 'Amazing Grace'
(Chorus x2)
Praise God, He's coming for meFor me, for me
