Look Away My friend, look away Look away to the light For what's that I see Coming after the night? The Millennium and God's Kingdom A great time of peace The time when all sorrow And heart rending will cease. The time when all men With God will unite The time when old Satan Will see the end of his fight. My friend, look away Ahead towards that light For we know what will happen Just after the fight. God's plans are established And by this you shall know For our love for each other Will eternally grow. We'll meet every man That ever has lived. From the darkest ages Thru the eras of sin. And then they'll rejoice When the changes they see They'll be in God's Kingdom And how happy they'll be. My friend, look away What's that you see? The wars will be over The world will be free. The feuds of the past Will forever be lost The Arabs and Jews Their differences tossed. And even the Assyrians Forever will be God's handiwork and A treasure to see. Then peace will roll in And the armies of old Will turn in their weapons In numbers untold. The ways of this world Will no longer be taught And only God's way Will be continually sought. My friend, look away Far away to that time. A day when all creatures Will ever be tame When petting a lion Will seem like a game. The tiger and bear Won't bother us none And playing with wild things Will be nothing but fun. No more will they growl Nor will they bite For in the Millennium All will be right. My friend, Look away For grace we will see And mankind will know How just God can be Christ will be the eyes And judge over all And in his great wisdom He'll give mercy to all To those who repent And mistakes overcome. To those who commit And live by his Laws For there are only ten And not hundreds of rules Like those written today By the wisest of fools. My friend, look away That time is at hand. When the small and great Before Christ will stand The end is so near So don't quit the race. Keep yourself running And don't slacken the pace For the crown it is worth it Worth all of the pain And you'll find in the end You have lost less Than you gained. Soon, my friend, soon Just hold onto the key It will be God's Kingdom And how happy you'll be [ Go Back ] |
