LYRICS
VERSE 1
God will judge this world so full of evil
And bring each work of darkness into light
On that day His enemies will tremble
When the King returns in glorious might
VERSE 2
Finally oppression will be over
Secret acts of cruelty made known
Nowhere left to hide for the abuser
Every deed laid bare before the throne
CHORUS
We long for that day when Jesus comes again
When sorrow and pain will all come to an end
When justice is done and evil cast away
Oh may we all be found in Christ that day
VERSE 3
On that day we’ll stand before our Maker
To face our debt of sin which must be paid
There is no-one righteous, none can measure
the perfect standard Christ alone displayed
VERSE 4
But there is hope for all who trust in Jesus
For all who know forgiveness in His name
He faced the wrath deserved by ruined sinners
To save us from our anger, fear and shame
VERSE 5
Then as the light descended into darkness
The Son of God forsaken on a tree
In agony our Saviour died abandoned
The innocent was crushed to set us free
VERSE 6
But on the third day Jesus rose in glory
And now He reigns in heaven from His throne
Praise the King for such an act of mercy
One day He will come to take us home
CHORUS
We long for that day when Jesus comes again
When sorrow and pain will all come to an end
When justice is done and evil cast away
Oh may we all be found in Christ that day
Oh may we all be found in Christ that day
