[Verse 1]
A day will come
When Christ returns
Descending from
His throne above
The whole world will
Behold the King
Surrounded by
His power and love
[Chorus]
A mighty trumpet will be heard
Its sound will reach across the earth
All those who died
With faith in Christ
Will leave their graves
And rise to life
[Chorus]
Jesus is coming
Jesus is near
Raise up your head
There's nothing to fear
When heaven calls us
Together we'll rise
And welcome our Savior
Beyond the skies
[Verse 2]
Life will continue
As it always has
People will work
And make their plans
Then in a moment
Without a warning
The Lord will gather
Those who are His
[Chorus]
The ones still living will be changed
And lifted from this world below
Together with the risen saints
They'll join the Lord
And never part
[Chorus]
Jesus is coming
Jesus is near
Raise up your head
There's nothing to fear
When heaven calls us
Together we'll rise
And welcome our Savior
Beyond the skies
[Bridge]
Choose Jesus
While you still have time
Walk in His truth
And follow His light
Let His forgiveness
Make you new
And give your whole life
To the Lord
[Outro]
Jesus is coming
Jesus is near
Our Lord and King
Will soon appear

Song Meaning
George Paul builds this song around the certainty of Christ's return, opening with the picture of a King descending from a throne while the whole world watches. A trumpet blast carries across the earth, and the graves of those who died trusting Christ give up their dead to rise. The chorus turns that scene into an invitation rather than a warning: heads lifted, fear set aside, the gathered church rising together to meet the Savior beyond the skies. The second verse grounds it in ordinary life — people still working, still making plans — until the moment arrives without warning and the Lord gathers His own. Those still alive are changed and lifted up alongside the risen saints, joined to the Lord permanently. The bridge shifts from description to appeal, urging the listener to choose Jesus while there is still time, to walk in His truth and let forgiveness remake them. It's a song that holds expectancy and everyday routine in the same frame, ending where it began: the King will soon appear.
