Heritage Singers — 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!
