Perhaps the Lord might come today, to take His chosen bride away.
Then all together we would rise, and meet our Savior in the skies.
Oh, what rejoicing there would be, when Jesus' face we all could see!
But maybe, for my earthly span, Christ has for me another plan.
And ere He comes to claim His own, He might desire just me alone,
To reach my home on Heaven's shore, and worship Him forevermore.
It could be that I'll quickly go; and yet it might be very slow,
With many pain-filled nights and days, while in His arms I sing His praise.
No matter what His will for me, His love will guide me constantly.
I find each day I'm longing for that blessed time my soul will soar.
And I will know the tender touch of my dear Lord I love so much.
And so I pray I'll faithful be, until the time my God I see.
