about

It was such a joy to have our youngest daughter, Faith, read the passages (vv.13-15,18) before and after the song (vv.16-17) on this track.

With faith like a child that Jesus wants us all to have, let us hold fast in looking for His glorious return and a better world that we are all longing for as we "encourage one another with these words."

lyrics

OPENING READING
1 Thessalonians 4: 13-15
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

VERSE
Oh, the Lord will come down from heaven
With a commanding shout
With the voice of the archangel
With the trumpet call of God

The Christians who have died
Will rise up from their graves
Together with them we who are still alive
And remain on the earth
Will be caught up in the clouds to meet Him in the air

CHORUS
We will be with Lord forever (3x)
We'll be caught up in the clouds to meet Him in the air
We'll be with Lord forever

VERSE
Oh, the Lord will come down from heaven
With a commanding shout
With the voice of the archangel
With the trumpet call of God

PRE-CHORUS
We'll be caught up in the clouds to meet Him in the air

CHORUS
We will be with Lord forever (3x)
We'll be caught up in the clouds to meet Him in the air
We'll be with Lord forever

(instrumental)

QUIET HALF-CHORUS
We will be with Lord forever (3x)

CHORUS
We will be with Lord forever (3x)
We'll be caught up in the clouds to meet Him in the air
We'll be with Lord forever

ENDING READING
1 Thessalonians 4: 18
Therefore encourage one another with these words.
