Well let me tell you what the Bible says |
|
In first Thessalonians it is read |
|
The 16th verse in chapter four |
|
Now listen friend, let me tell you more |
|
It says the Lord himself is gonna shout |
|
And Gabriel will bring his trumpet out |
|
He's gonna blow it loud from the Easter sky |
|
And then the Saints and Christ shall rise |
|
They'll be dancing on the clouds |
|
They're gonna go first, to show us how |
|
I'm talkin' about the child that's left behind |
|
It will only be for a moment's time, then |
|
Get up out of that ground |
|
(Get up out of that ground) |
|
Get up out of that ground |
|
(Get up out of that ground) |
|
Get up out of that ground |
|
(Get up out of that ground) |
|
Get up out of that ground |
|
(Get up out of that ground) |
|
Oh child it's time to go home |
|
Meanwhile back in the gospel way |
|
Servin' Jesus day by day |
|
Sometimes I drift and dream at night |
|
The the heavenly world, such a precious sight |
|
I wonder how long will it take |
|
'Til Jesus steps out from those gates |
|
And says, "Come on, now's the time |
|
Friend don't you get left behind" |
|
Get up out of that ground |
|
(Get up out of that ground) |
|
Get up out of that ground |
|
(Get up out of that ground) |
|
Get up out of that ground |
|
(Get up out of that ground) |
|
Get up out of that ground |
|
(Get up out of that ground) |
|
Oh child it's time to go home |
|
Get up out of that ground |
|
(Get up out of that ground) |
|
Get up out of that ground |
|
(Get up out of that ground) |
|
Get up out of that ground |
|
(Get up out of that ground) |
|
Get up out of that ground |
|
(Get up out of that ground) |
|
Oh child it's time to go home |
|
Go home |
