the second coming of Christ

Verse 1
When the sky breaks open wide
And the glory lights the earth,
Every eye will see His coming,
Every soul will know His worth.
No more shadows, no more silence,
For the trumpet splits the night,
And the Savior we’ve been longing for
Returns in radiant light.

Verse 2
Not in secret, not in whispers,
But in thunder from above,
As the angels fill the heavens
With a song of endless love.
From the east the lightning flashes,
So His coming all will see,
And the faithful rise rejoicing,
Clothed in immortality.

Chorus
Prepare your heart, for I am on My way,
On the clouds of glory bright.
Not just few, but every nation
Will behold the King of Light.
Hope is rising, hearts awakening,
For the promise still stands true.
When He gathers all His faithful,
He will come for me and you.

Verse 3
For the dead in Christ will rise first,
And we’ll meet Him in the air,
Hand in hand with all His children,
Safe at last beyond despair.
From the prophets’ ancient writings
To the visions John was shown,
Every word declares His triumph,
Every word reveals His throne.

Chorus
Prepare your heart, for I am on My way,
On the clouds of glory bright.
Not just few, but every nation
Will behold the King of Light.
Hope is rising, hearts awakening,
For the promise still stands true.
When He gathers all His faithful,
He will come for me and you.

Bridge
No secret rapture, no hidden kingdom,
For the heavens all will roar.
Every knee will bow before Him,
Every heart will know the Lord.
Not the fear of man’s deception,
But the truth that sets us free,
Christ returning in His power,
Just as He said it would be.

Final Chorus (Key Change optional)
Prepare your heart, for I am on My way,
Lift your eyes, the time is near.
Kings and nations, rich and poor,
All will see the Lord appear.
Hope fulfilled and fear defeated,
Every promise coming true.
When He gathers all His faithful,
He will come for me and you.

Outro
So we watch and wait with longing,
With a hope that never dies,
For the One who loves His children,
Soon will split the eastern skies.
And the world will see His mercy,
And the darkness fade away,
When our Jesus comes in glory
On that long-awaited day.
