It's Time to Go Home

Well let me tell you what the Bible says

In first Thessalonians it is read

The 16th verse in chapter four

Now listen friend, let me tell you more

It says the Lord himself is gonna shout

And Gabriel will bring his trumpet out

He's gonna blow it loud from the Easter sky

And then the Saints and Christ shall rise

They'll be dancing on the clouds

They're gonna go first, to show us how

I'm talkin' about the child that's left behind

It will only be for a moment's time, then

Get up out of that ground

(Get up out of that ground)

Get up out of that ground

(Get up out of that ground)

Get up out of that ground

(Get up out of that ground)

Get up out of that ground

(Get up out of that ground)

Oh child it's time to go home

Meanwhile back in the gospel way

Servin' Jesus day by day

Sometimes I drift and dream at night

The the heavenly world, such a precious sight

I wonder how long will it take

'Til Jesus steps out from those gates

And says, "Come on, now's the time

Friend don't you get left behind"

Get up out of that ground

(Get up out of that ground)

Get up out of that ground

(Get up out of that ground)

Get up out of that ground

(Get up out of that ground)

Get up out of that ground

(Get up out of that ground)

Oh child it's time to go home

Get up out of that ground

(Get up out of that ground)

Get up out of that ground

(Get up out of that ground)

Get up out of that ground

(Get up out of that ground)

Get up out of that ground

(Get up out of that ground)

Oh child it's time to go home

Go home
