When I got home from work last night
The news was just coming on
What a mess this world is in
Everything's going wrong
But I won't be discouraged
I will not fear
'Cause there's a voice inside my heart
And this is what I hear

It won't be long till we see Jesus
(Ooh, it won't be long)
It won't be long and He'll be here
I'm gonna follow Him all the way
I'm gonna watch for Him every day
With all that's going on
It won't be long

When I get up and start each day
I turn it over to Him
Oh, you know I want to serve the Lord
In any way that I can
'Cause there's a world of people
Everywhere I go
And they're lost and lonely
Bound and afraid
Oh, and they need to know
It won't be long till we see Jesus
(Ooh, it won't be long)
It won't be long and He'll be here, yeah
I'm gonna follow Him all the way
I'm gonna watch for Him every day
With all that's going on
It won't be long

Jesus said before summer comes
The trees start turning green
And He said before he returns
We'd see lots of things
So, keep your eyes on the heavens
And don't you be surprised
When a trumpet sounds
And we leave the ground
And meet Him in the skies

'Cause it won't be long till we see Jesus
(Ooh, it won't be long)
It won't be long and He'll be here, yeah
I'm gonna follow Him all the way
I'm gonna watch for Him every day
With all that's going on
It won't be long
Till we see Jesus
(Ooh, it won't be long)
It won't be long and He'll be here, yeah
I'm gonna follow Him all the way
I'm gonna watch for Him every day
With all that's going on
It won't be long

Oh, it won't be long
Oh, yeah
Ooh, it won't be long
