Lyrics:
1. I await my Savior's coming I long for that Holy day
When Lord Jesus comes in glory and takes all my fears away
CHORUS: In that day all flesh shall see Him all will know that He is Lord
In that day all will kneel before Him earth's great King will be adored
2. I am lost in a world confused sin and darkness gather round
Still I wait for that sweet promise of His coming at the trumpet's sound
CHORUS
3. He will reign on earth forever Satan will be bound again
And we'll dwell in joy and gladness please Lord Jesus come again
CHORUS
Story:
"I Await My Savior's Coming" (Winter 2004?)
Amber is that righteous kind of person that is filled with excitement rather than dread over the subject of the Second Coming.
In truth, for those prepared it will be a glorious day. She's always wanted me to pen a hymn about this. I wrote the
lyrics quite quickly after many failed attempts, and found a wonderful melody in a Methodist hymnal. I changed the harmonies
to fit my liking, and really enjoy the final product. An interesting side note is that the tune name of the melody (written
over a century ago) is "Restoration." Fitting! :)
