Text:Redemption draweth nigh

43. Redemption draweth nigh

1 Years of time have come and gone,
Since I first heard it told,
How Jesus would come again someday,
If back then it seemed so real that
I just can't help but feel
How much closer His coming is today.

Refrain:
Signs of the times are everywhere
And there's a brand new feeling in the air,
Keep your eyes upon the eastern skies
Lift up your head, redemption draweth nigh.

2 Wars of strife on every hand
And violence fills our land
Still some people doubt
He'll come again,
But the word of God is true,
He'll redeem His chosen few
Don't lose hope,
Soon Christ Jesus will descend. [Refrain]
