THE KING IS COMING

(Bill Gaither - Gloria Gaither - Charley Millhoff)

« © '71 Gaither Music »

The market place is empty no more traffic in the streets

All the builders tools are silent no more time to harvest wheat

Busy housewives cease their labors in the courtroom no debate

Work on earth is all suspended as the King comes through the gate

Oh the King is coming the King is coming

I just heard the trumpets sounding and now his face I see

Oh the King is coming the King is coming praise God he's coming for me

Happy faces line the hallways those whose lives have been redeemed

Broken homes he has mended those from prison he has freed

Little children and the aged hand in hand stand all aglow

Who were crippled broken ruined dressed in garments white as snow

I can hear the chariots rumble I can see the marching throng

The flurry of God's trumpets spells the end of sin and wrong

Regal robes are now unfolding heaven's grandstand's all in place

Heaven's choir is now assembled start to sing Amazing Grace

Oh the King is coming the King is coming...

Oh the King is coming the King is coming...

(He's coming for me)
