Redemption Draweth Nigh
“There is no panic in heaven, only plans”
In a day when troubles grow, in a time such as our own time
Redemption is drawing much nearer each day.
When the world shall bend its knee when the nations fall before Him
The Saviour is coming to take us away.
Now the path that leads us home is a rugged, rough and straight one
It passes thru places where we cannot see.
Tho the road gives cause to fear, and the future’s not a clear one
The one who upholds it unfolds it to me.
For the beckoning call that draws us to freedom
Is offered to all who’ll hear.
And the days linger on so all His own may draw near
Before He returns to judge all men.
Though we look in mirrors dark, we can barely see his true face
One day face to face, grace we shall surely see
For on that day I’ll find a place that transcends Eden
The power and glory that’s beckoning me.
For this power and glory is rightfully given
To one who died for all men
He was despised, rejected, a man of sorrows
The lamb who was slain and stood up again!
In a day when troubles grow, in a time such as our own time
Redemption is drawing much nearer each day.
When the world shall bend its knee when the nations fall before Him
The Saviour is coming to take us away.
