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 |
