The King is Coming

The marketplace 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 thro' the gate.

O the King is coming,
The King is coming!
I just heard the trumpets sounding,
And now His face I see;
O 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 that 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,
Clad in garments white as snow.

O the King is coming,
The King is coming!
I just heard the trumpets sounding,
And now His face I see;
O the King is coming,
The King is coming!
Praise God, He's coming for me!

I can hear the chariots rumble,
I can see the marching throng,
The flurry of God's trumpets
Spells the end of sin and wrong:
Regal robes are now unfolding,
Heaven's grandstand's all in place,
Heaven's choir now assembled,
Start to sing "Amazing Grace!"

O the King is coming,
The King is coming!
I just heard the trumpets sounding,
And now His face I see;
O the King is coming,
The King is coming!
Praise God, He's coming for me!

@poetlindamae Thank you so much. If you like my singing well enough you can stop by and subscribe to my other channel called FamilyBibleTime here on YouTube. I post a song that I sing, each day, there.

thank you for putting this on you tube. When i was a teenager Steve Brock was the youth director of the Church of God and he sang this at our small church. I never found a rendition I liked as much until now. When I'm down I will be listening to you again. thank you

@spiritsong717 I appreciate that so very much. Bless The Lord and thank you.

Very nicely done, I enjoyed this very much! Dont you realize the geese flying by at the end was the King telling you thank you for honoring him! Peace to you my brother!

@icartoon2 I would say it may be all about " history" shortly, most relevant watching the signs of the times.....thanks again

@luettem Thank you so much. I'm amazed that this video is still found by folk like yourself even though I put it here about 2 years ago.
