There is a day coming, when the old will pass away
Ev'ry wrong will be made right, no darkness no night
The sun will light the way
There is a King coming, the One who conquered death and grave
No more pain and no more sorrow, this hope for tomorrow
Is our hope for today
He who was, He who is, He who was, He who is
He who is to come, Christ the Son of man
Riding on the clouds with a crown upon His head
Ev'ry eye will see Him with the nail scars in His hands
Hallelujah, hallelujah
There's only one worthy of all glory and all praise
All wealth and all honor strength, wisdom and power
To the Lamb that was slain
Hallelujah, hallelujah
He is surely coming, oh can you feel too
All this tension growing stronger is just a sign He's getting closer
He's already on the move
Oh the story has been written, we all know how it ends
My future has an anchor, my eyes are on the Savior
He's coming back again
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
He who is to come, Christ the Son of man
Riding on the clouds with a crown upon His head
Ev'ry eye will see Him with the nail scars in His hands
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
(O come, O come, Emmanuel)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
(O come, O come, Emmanuel)
He will come again, He will come again
Hallelujah (Emmanuel)
