Caught up
To meet him
I know real soon we'll be caught up to meet him, according to 1st Thessalonians 4:16-17: For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, and with the voice of an archangel, with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first; then those who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Behold, he is coming with clouds, and every eye shall see. Oh, I can't wait for that day. Hallelujah
We'll be caught up (caught up)
To meet him (to meet him)
Caught up (caught up)
To meet him (to meet him)
We'll be caught up (caught up)
To meet him in the air (in the air)
Oh yes we will
This is our blessed hope
And we won't have to cry no more
We'll be caught up (caught up)
To meet him in the air (in the air)
Oh, Paul told us all about it
When he saw, when he saw a glimpse of it
Oh, John, John said he saw it
When he was on the Lord's day
Oh yes he did
You see, he's coming with ten thousand of his saints
To take us home, oh praise his name
We'll be caught up to meet him in the air
Caught up (caught up)
To meet him (to meet him)
We'll be caught up (caught up)
To meet him (to meet him)
We'll be caught up (caught up)
To meet him in the air (in the air)
Child, this is our blessed hope
And we won't have to cry no more
We'll be caught up (caught up)
To meet him in the air (in the air)
He's coming in all of his glory
You have to be changed just to look on it
But in the twinkling of an eye
He said you'll be changed
Oh yes he did
Oh glory, hallelujah, what a day
The clouds will open and take us away
We'll be caught up to meet him in the air
We'll be caught up (caught up)
To meet him (to meet him)
Caught up (caught up)
To meet him (to meet him)
We'll be caught up (caught up)
To meet him in the air (in the air)
Child, this is our blessed hope
And we won't have to cry no more
We'll be caught up (caught up)
To meet him (to meet him)
No more worries (caught up)
To meet him (to meet him)
No more fears (caught up)
No, no, no, no (to meet him)
No more tears (caught up)
To meet him in the air (in the air)
Oh yes, we'll be caught up (caught up)
To meet him in the air
We'll meet him in the air (in the air)
