Lyrics

This world is getting me down,
I'm getting tired of running around,
It seems that my world is crashing to the ground;
But Lord you say you never sleep,
And every promise you keep,
So I'll keep holding on, it's your love that's keeping me strong.

The going's getting tuff, and I may not have enough,
And though I stumble, though I fall,
I'm gonna keep on holding tightly to His call,

'Cause when He comes, I'm gonna meet Him in the air!
'Cause when He comes, He's gonna wipe away each tear,
When He comes, the lonly nights will be behind me,
No more chains to bind me, no more fear that surrounds me,
I'll see Him face to face,
When He comes!

Time is slipping away,
And the devil is having his way,
And all around us is fear and war and strife,
Now we need to stand up in one accord,
And wave the banner of the Lord,
And tell this dying world of the way, the truth and the life!

Now is the time to keep pressing on, cast off those shackles that have you down,
And though you're feeling weary, just keep holding tightly,
To His call!

'Cause when He comes, I'm gonna meet Him in the air!
'Cause when He comes, He's gonna wipe away each tear,
When He comes, the lonly nights will be behind me,
No more chains to bind me, no more fear that surrounds me,
I'll see Him face to face,
When He comes!

Repeat Chorus.
