Maranatha

Maranatha!

 

Rain falls down on these latter days

Come to wash all our sins away

So put on the armor

And turn from the night

The clouds will part with the morning light

 

He comes in storm, this very hour

And Christ is formed

When we are are weakÝ in perfect power

So sound the trumpet

Throw open the gate

And prepare the way before it is too late!

 

Come and reign in us

In your power we will trust

Come and rule and reign

And your Kingdom ordain

Lord your sovereign throne

Is lifted up by your very own

Come reign in us

Oh Lord Jesus

YourÝ Kingdom, priests awaitÝ our day

So maranatha,Ý come quickly we pray

Maranatha come quickly we pray.

 

The kingdoms of this of this world have become

The kingdom of God's only and son

Forever he will rule and rein

He'll split the eastern skies and make it plain.

He'll show the world our faith was not in vain.

 

Come quicklyÝ Lord our strength and tower

Not like before, but in Kingdom power

Your Kingdome come

Your will shall be done

Here on earth as in heaven

Your Kingdom overcomes.

As inÝ heavenÝ soÝ on earth

All creation sings your Worth!
