There will come a time when the skies will open There will come a time When all men's hearts are broken The return of my King draws near The footsteps of His horses I can almost hear Pledge to follow Him hereafter Trade my sorrow for His laughter O, My Lord don't be too long (Chorus:) I'm waiting, watching and I'm wondering Will You carry us Right past the lightning and the thundering In Your Chariot? I'm waiting, watching and I'm wondering Will You carry us to Your throne above In Your Chariot? There will come a time when the blind will see There will come a time When the captives are set free And all the dead in Christ will arise My Lord and Redeemer Will descend from the skies Pledge to follow Him hereafter Trade my sorrow for His laughter O, My Lord don't be too long (Chorus) Swing lo, sweet Chariot Coming for' to carry me home. Carry me home!
