Before Now and Soon

After his sacrifice for our sins, he sat down at his father’s right hand

As the angels sang and played worship and praise songs in their heavenly band

He waits for his enemies to be made his footstool

As the grapes of wrath are pressed into a large pool

He treads the winepress of his fear and of his wrath

Nothing no nothing will stand in our Lord’s path

He is coming He is coming he is riding a white horse

Nothing in heaven or hell can change his course

Its rider is called faithful and true

Look up for all things are about to become new

He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood

His justice and mercy will cover the land like the great flood

Jesus isn’t pacing the floor it is done

Remember the war is over the battle is already won

He gives us the authority to make disciples of every nation

Baptizing them in the name of the Father, Holy Spirit and Son

Making them his holy relation

While he waits he instructs, empowers and intercedes for all

Thus enabling his children to lift their heads and stand fearless and tall

So don’t just stand looking into the sky go out and be his hands and feet

Bringing people to Christ before they face the judgment seat

Our hero will appear on a white horse and we will all be safe

For these are the last days and soon we will see him face to face
