It Won't Be Long



Words by Ray Boltz, Steve Millikan, and Greg Gilpin, Music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan



When I got home from work last night

The news was just coming on

What a mess this world is in

Everything's going wrong

But I won't be discouraged

I will not fear

There's a voice inside my heart

And this is what I hear



CHORUS:

It won't be long till we see Jesus

It won't be long till He'll be here

I'm gonna follow Him all the way

I'm gonna watch for Him every day

With all that's going on

It won't be long



When I get up and start each day

I turn it over to Him

Oh you know I want to serve the Lord

In any way that I can

There's a world of people

Everywhere I go

They're lost and lonely

Bound and afraid

Oh and they need to know



CHORUS



Jesus said before summer comes

The leaves start turning green

And He said before he returns

We'd see lots of things

Keep your eyes on the heavens

And don't you be surprised

When a trumpet sounds

And we leave the ground

And meet Him in the skies
