Before The Lord's Ascension
He Did Not Fail to Mention
That He would return again Someday
To wake those that are sleeping
When it comes our time for leaving
His mighty voice will penetrate the grave
(Chorus)
I'm just listening for the shout
Coming from the Eastern Sky
When all God's children shall rise
In The twinkling of an Eye
We'll be caught up in the sky
I've been watching and a'waiting
Listening for the shout
Creation now is groaning
God's children have a longing
For the great event that will take place
Redemption day is nearing
We'll see the grand appearing
Of our blessed savior Face to Face
(Chorus)
I'm just listening for the shout
Coming from the Eastern Sky
When all God's children shall rise
In The twinkling of an Eye
We'll be caught up in the sky
I've been watching and a'waiting
Listening for the shout
I've been watching and a'waiting
I'm anticipating
I've been watching and a'waiting
We'll be celebrating
I've been watching and a'waiting
Listening for the shout
(Chorus)
I'm just listening for the shout
Coming from the Eastern Sky
When all God's children shall rise
In The twinkling of an Eye
We'll be caught up in the sky
I've been watching and a'waiting
Listening for the shout
