Lyrics
COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS
(Alice Olsen)
Chorus:
COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS,
Take me to Your home.
Let me spend forever,
At the foot of Your throne.
COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS,
Lift me up with Your love.
I long for eternity in heaven above.
Verse One:
Life is a hard road at times, I declare.
The weight of the world's in the burdens we bear.
But hope of redemption keeps me moving on.
I know all my troubles will one day be gone.
(Repeat chorus)
Verse Two:
Narrow and straight, we must travel this road,
And follow His steps in the way that He showed.
I'm tempted and tried in this world full of sin,
Still I'll keep my faith 'til the last reckoning.
(Repeat chorus 2X)
