When Jesus was here
He gave us the words of eternal life
He gave us His peace
And He said, “I’ll not leave you alone”
And though I wasn’t there
When the multitude watched him ascend
Two angels in white announced
He would come back again
What a blessing it was
To be part of that crowd
Gathered there that day
To see Him go up
And in clouds see Him taken away
But I know in my heart
That a greater blessing waits now for me
Oh, cause I’m part of that crowd
That’s been watching the sky faithfully
-CHORUS-
My eyes shall see King Jesus
When He comes in clouds of glory
If I am sleeping, I’ll be awakened from the grave
And if I remain, I’ll hear the trumpet’s joyful sound
I didn’t see Him go up
But I’ll see Him when He comes down
-BRIDGE-
I’ll be like Him
I’ll be like Him
Though I don’t know just what I’ll be
I’ll be like Him
I’ll be like Him (I’ll be like Him)
I’ll be like Him (I’ll be like Him)
Though I don’t know (Don’t know) what I’ll be (I’ll be), I’ll be like Him
I shall see Him as He is
And that’s good enough for me
I’ll be like Him
When He Comes Down
My eyes shall see King Jesus
When He comes in clouds of glory
If I am sleeping, I’ll be awakened from the grave
And if I remain, I’ll hear the trumpet’s joyful sound
I didn’t see Him go up
But I’ll see Him when He comes down
And if I remain, I’ll hear the trumpet’s joyful sound
I didn’t see Him....I didn’t see Him
Oh, I didn’t see Him go up
But I’ll see Him when He comes down
When He comes down
