[Verse 1]
One day Jesus will come again
Just as He promised, amen
No one knows the day or hour
But He will come with mighty power
[Chorus]
The trumpet of God will sound that day
The Lord will come just as He said
The dead in Christ will rise first
Then those alive will be caught up
[Verse 2]
Jesus is coming, Jesus is near
Lift up your eyes, do not fear
The trumpet will sound, the dead will rise
And we will meet Jesus in the sky
[Verse 3]
The Bible says it will happen suddenly
Like a thief comes unexpectedly
Two may be working side by side
Those who belong to Christ will rise
[Chorus]
The world may carry on that day
But Jesus will come and take His own
Those who believe will hear His call
And they will be with Him forevermore
[Bridge]
So watch and pray, don't fall asleep
Hold on to Jesus, His promise is sure
We don't know when He will appear
But we know He is coming again
[Verse 4]
Don't wait for tomorrow, walk with Jesus every day
Keep your heart in the light and be ready for His return
[Chorus]
Jesus is coming, Jesus is near
The King will appear, His promise is clear
The dead in Christ will rise from the ground
And living believers will hear the sound
[Outro]
Caught up together, we'll meet Him above
Forever with Jesus, forever in love
What a glorious day it will be
When our Savior comes for you and me
We don't know the day, we don't know the hour
But Jesus is coming with glory and power

Song Meaning
Abraham H. builds this song around the promise of Christ's return, opening with the plain confession that one day Jesus will come again just as He promised, though the day and hour remain hidden. The chorus turns to the trumpet of God and the order of the resurrection — the dead in Christ rising first, then those still alive caught up to meet Him. Verse two urges listeners to lift their eyes and set aside fear, while verse three compares the suddenness of that day to a thief arriving unexpectedly, with two people working side by side and only those belonging to Christ rising. The bridge presses the practical response: watch and pray, don't fall asleep, hold fast to a promise that is sure even when the timing is unknown. A closing verse warns against waiting for tomorrow and instead walking with Jesus daily, keeping the heart in the light. The outro pictures believers caught up together, forever with Jesus, and returns to the refrain that no one knows the day or hour, yet He is coming with glory and power. The song stays close to the words of Scripture rather than embellishing them, functioning almost like a sung reminder to live ready.
