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!
