"The King Is Coming" lyrics

"The King Is Coming"

The market place is empty, no more traffic in the streets
All the builders' tools are silent, no more time to harvest wheat
Busy housewives cease their labors, in the courtroom, no debate
Work on Earth is all suspended as the King comes through the gate

Oh the King is coming, the King is coming
I just heard the trumpets sounding and now his face I see
Oh the King is coming, the King is coming
Praise God, He's coming for me

Happy faces line the hallways, those whose lives have been redeemed
Broken homes He has mended, those from prison, He has freed
Little children and the aged, hand in hand, stand all aglow
Who were crippled, broken, ruined, dressed in garments white as snow

I can hear the chariots rumble, I can see the marching throng
The flurry of God's trumpets spell the end of sin and wrong
Regal robes are now unfolding, heaven's grandstands all in place
Heaven's choir is now assembled start to sing 'Amazing Grace'

Oh the King is coming, the King is coming
I just heard the trumpets sounding and now his face I see
Oh the King is coming, the King is coming
Praise God, He's coming for me

Oh the King is coming, the King is coming
I just heard the trumpets sounding and now his face I see
Oh the King is coming, the King is coming
Praise God, He's coming for me
