The King Is Coming

[Verse 1]
Oh 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 through the gate

[Chorus]
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!

[Verse 2]
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
Now they're clad in garments white as snow

[Verse 3]
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 grandstands all in place
Heaven's choir now assembled
Start to sing "Amazing Grace!"

[Chorus]
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, Praise God, Praise God, He's coming for me!
