It Won't Be Long

It won't be long
Then we'll be leavin' here
It won't be long
We'll be goin' home

It won't be long
Then we'll be leavin' here
It won't be long
We'll be goin' home

Count the years as months
And count the months as weeks
And count the weeks as days
Any day now
We'll be goin' home

Count the years as months
And count the months as weeks
And count the weeks as days
Any day now
We'll be goin' home
You look around the world today
And you see trouble and heartache on every side

But the Father says: Don't worry
For I have called you by name and You are mine
So when the flames of affliction threaten to ravage your soul
When the mighty waves of strife
Threaten to wash over that old ship of Zion
Remember that it won't be long
For Jesus said: Friends, I'm gonna leave you now
But just as sure as I'm leaving you
I'm coming back to recieve you

And when He comes again this corruptable is gonna put on incorruption
This mortal is gonna put on immortality
For we shall be changed
We shall be like Him
We shall be like Him
We shall be like Him

Any day now
We'll be goin' home
It won't be long (it won't be long, it won't be long)
Then we'll be leavin' here (goin' home)
It won't be long (it won't be long, it won't be long)
We'll be goin' home (he'll listen to us, it won't be long)
It won't be long (then we'll be leavin' here)
Then we'll be leavin' here (better get ready)
It won't be long
We'll be goin' home
