Do you see Him coming
Did you hear the cries
Of the holy scary Drifter
With fire in His eyes
Look around He’s coming back for you
Feel the wind is rushing
Tearing through the sky
See the clouds are forming
His glory’s passing by
Join with the angels all you sons of men
And let us sing
Let the earth and all that’s in it
Clap our hands and shout out loud
With all of our voice singing
Glory to the holy Lamb of God
The earth will shake nations tremble
Mountains melt before our God
Living creatures will proclaim
Glory to the holy Lamb of God
