You've heard of little Moses in the bull rush
Yes and you have heard of fearless David and his tiny little sling
I know you've heard the story told of dreaming Joseph
Jonah and the Whale they often sing
Well, there are many many others in God's holy Bible
I would like to meet them all I do declare
Oh by and by the Lord will surely, he's gonna let us meet them
It will be at that meeting in the air
There's going to be a meeting in the air in that sweet sweet by and by
Oh I am going to meet you meet you over there in that home beyond the sky. Such singing you will hear never heard by mortal ear, will be glorious I do declare.
For God's own son will be the leading one at that meeting in the air.
(Verse 1)
Now many things will be missing at that meeting for the mourners bench will have no place at all. There will never be a sermon preached to sinners for the sinner has refused to head the call. There will be no mourning over wayward loved ones. There will be no lonely nights of pleading prayers. All our burdens and our anguish will be lifted at that meeting in the air.
(Verse 2)
All the doubters will be missing at that meeting. All the skeptics will be absent on that day. There will be no grumbled present to disturb us and the achans will be busy far away. Oh there the saints will have the seal upon their foreheads all dressed in raiment none that random ones can wear. All who have the wedding garments will be present. At that meeting in the air
Now don't you weep for me when I'm gone cause I won't have to leave here alone. Oooh and when I hear that last trumpet sound, no my feet won't stay on the ground.
I'm gonna rise with a shout I'm gonna fly. I'm gonna rise with my Lord through the sky. For Gods own son will be the leading one at that meeting in the air.
(Gonna meet him in the air)
Oooooh goodbye sorrow goodbye
Hey hey goodbye tears goodbye
Oh yeah goodbye pain goodbye
I'm gonna rise with a shout I'm gonna fly I'm gonna rise with my Lord through the sky
For Gods own son will be the leading one at that meeting in the air.
