Soon

Soon and very soon, my King is coming
Robed in righteousness and crowned with love
When I see Him, I shall be made like Him
Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon, I’ll be going
To the place He has prepared for me
There my sin erased, my shame forgotten
Soon and very soon

I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I’ll see Him
There my soul will be satisfied
Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon, see the procession
The angels and the elders, ’round the throne
At His feet I’ll lay my crowns my worship
Soon and very soon

Though I have not seen Him
My heart knows Him well
Jesus Christ the Lamb
The Lord of heaven

Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon
