Representative Text

1 Oh, I’m looking for my Saviour, who has gone from earth to heaven,
He has promised to come back some day you see,
And it fills my soul with glory, as I sing the sweet, old story,
Just to know that Christ is coming after me.

Refrain:
He’s coming after me, He’s coming after me,
He’s coming back, I know, to catch His waiting bride away,
And it fills my soul with glory, as I sing the sweet old story,
Just to know that Christ is coming after me.

2 Oh, my heart grows sad and weary, with the many days so dreary,
O this world has lost its love and charms for me,
But I’m filled with fire and glory, when I read the precious story,
When I think about His coming after me. [Refrain]

3 Oh, dear friends, I well remember, that when first I found the Saviour,
How He sweetly took my aches and pains away,
And He filled my soul with glory, how I love to tell the story,
And to know that He is coming after me. [Refrain]

4 See the Saviour standing pleading, and His broken heart is bleeding
For a world that’s steeped in sin of low degree,
Oh, dear sinner, heed the story, let Him fill your soul with glory,
Oh, get ready for He’s coming after me. [Refrain]
