I'm a Stranger Down Here

I'm a Stranger down here
This old world is not my home (2X)
For Jesus is coming for me one day
And with Him I'm gonna fly away
I'm going home to live with God eternally

You may treat me wrong down here
This old world is not my home (2X)
I'll just hold my peace and say
"Revenge is God's and He'll repay"
'Cause I'm going home to live with God eternally

You may store up treasures here
This old world is not your home (2X)
For where your treasure is there's your heart
But with nothing you'll depart
So why don't you store up all your treasures up above

Chorus
I wanna be ready when He comes back for me (4X)

Vamp
(Choir) I wanna be ready...
No one knows the day
No one knows the hour
When the Son of Man is going to return
In all His glory and power

Two men working in the fields
Two women grinding with a mill
Two are going to be taken
The others left standing still

Gabriel stands out on a cloud
Blow your trumpet loud
The Bible declares that the dead in Christ shall rise
Gather My saints from the east
Gather My saints from the west
Gather My saints from the north and south
They're gonna stand in righteousness

Every knee shall bow
And every tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord and King
In all of His holiness

He'll divide the goats on the left
And put His sheep on the right
To the saints of God He's gonna say
"Come on up, you've fought a good fight"
But to the lost He's gonna say
"My words you wouldn't receive
And now you'll pay the awful price
Separated through eternity"

2 Corinthians 5:1-10
