A great day is coming, we know not how or when

When the Bridegroom comes to take His bride

To receive her to Him again

So when that day comes, let me not be found asleep

Let me be alert and watching

And let me that promise keep

 

CHORUS:

Prepare my heart for Thy coming

Fill me with that fire within

It's a fire of burning desire

Longing to be with You again

 

The promise has been made that I would belong to You

Forever and for all time and in everything that I do

So I belong to You and You belong to me too

You make my life complete, You make me feel so sweet

 

(chorus)

 

Jesus, You are my Lover

And I'm longing for You to be here

For I want with all my heart to be with You

And always feel Your presence near

And I can hardly wait for that day to come

When You come to take me home

For even all the gifts that You gave me

Do not compare to You alone

 

(chorus)
