It's Almost Time to Leave

It's almost time to leave this old world
It's almost time to go home to be with The Lord
Jesus I look forward to Your Glorious return
Because only to You can I turn--

        When the skies darken and the moon turns into blood
        When the fires come down from heaven like a flood
        When the world around us like so-much-glass shatters
        When the paper money and worthless stocks don't matter

Look up for your redemption draweth nigh
Look up for Jesus is returning in the sky
The dead in Christ will rise first
Soon there will be a New Heaven and a New Earth

        When the skies darken and the moon turns into blood
        When the fires come down from heaven like a flood
        When the world around us like so-much-glass shatters
        When the paper money and worthless stocks don't matter

Look up for your redemption draweth nigh
Look up for Jesus is returning in the sky--

                In the end when He calls us home to be with Him
                It will be worth it all--every good little thing we did--
