There will come a time when the skies will open

There will come a time

When all men's hearts are broken

The return of my King draws near

The footsteps of His horses I can almost hear

Pledge to follow Him hereafter

Trade my sorrow for His laughter

O, My Lord don't be too long

(Chorus:)

I'm waiting, watching and I'm wondering

Will You carry us

Right past the lightning and the thundering

In Your Chariot?

I'm waiting, watching and I'm wondering

Will You carry us to Your throne above

In Your Chariot?

There will come a time when the blind will see

There will come a time

When the captives are set free

And all the dead in Christ will arise

My Lord and Redeemer

Will descend from the skies

Pledge to follow Him hereafter

Trade my sorrow for His laughter

O, My Lord don't be too long

(Chorus)

Swing lo, sweet Chariot

Coming for' to carry me home.

Carry me home!
