Maranatha |
Michael Card |
(I Thessalonians 4:13) |
Maranatha is a cry of the heart |
That’s hopeful yet weary of waiting |
While it may be joyful with the burdens it bears |
It’s sick with anticipating |
To long for the Promised One day after day |
And the promise that soon He’d return |
It’s certain that waiting’s the most bitter lesson |
A believing heart has to learn |
Maranatha |
How many more moments must this waiting last |
Maranatha, we long for the time when all time is past |
A commotion, a call then that will be all |
Though it’s not yet the hour |
The minutes are ticking away |
Maranatha is the shout of the few |
Who for so long in history’ve been hiding |
Who truly believe that the sound of that call |
Might actually hasten His coming |
For no eye has seen and no ear has yet heard |
And no mind has ever conceived |
The joy of the moment when He will appear |
To the wonder of all who believe |
Maranatha, how hungry we are just to see Your face |
Parousia, to finally fall in one long embrace |
A commotion, a call and that will be all |
Though it’s not yet the hour |
The minutes are ticking away |
