Watch And Pray
Anticipating His Return: A Song of Hope and Faith
Lyrics
Jesus said that He's returning
Jesus proclaimed his eventual return
To take us home to heaven above
To gather believers to heavenly realms
Let's keep our lamps all trimmed and burning
Advocating readiness and vigilance
cnd spread the news of His wondrous love
To share the remarkable love of Christ
Oh, watch and pray
Encouragement to be watchful and pray
For you know not the day
Unknown timing of Christ's return
When the Savior will come again
Emphasis on the second coming of Jesus
Keep pressing on
To persist in devotion to Christ
Living for Jesus, singin' a song
Dedicating life to Jesus through music
'Til He calls His church away, watch and pray
Until believers are called to heaven
With our blessed hope before us
Focusing on the blessed hope of Christ's return
We'll labor on 'til the race is run
Continuing efforts until life's journey ends
Then when we see His face all glorious
Awaiting the glorious sight of Jesus' face
We'll hear Him say, “My child, well done!”
Receiving commendation from Jesus
Oh, watch and pray
Repeated emphasis on vigilance and prayer
For you know not the day
Uncertainty about the specific return date
When the Savior will come again
Reiterating anticipation of Christ's return
Keep pressing on
Continued dedication to Jesus
Living for Jesus, singin' a song
Expressing devotion through singing
'Til He calls His church away, watch and pray
Until believers are summoned to heaven
Oh, watch and pray
Repeating the call to watchfulness and prayer
For you know not the day
Reiteration of the unknown return date
When the Savior will come again
Reaffirmation of awaiting Christ's return
Keep pressing on
Continued perseverance for Jesus
Living for Jesus, singin' a song
Commitment to living for Jesus and singing praises
'Til He calls His church away, watch and pray
Until the church is summoned by Jesus
'Til He calls His church away, watch and pray
Repetition emphasizes the message to watch and pray
'Til He calls His church away, watch and pray
-(Watch and pray)
Reiterating the call to watchfulness and prayer
Oh, watch and pray
Continued emphasis on vigilance
For you know not the day
Unknown timing of Christ's return
When the Savior will come again
Highlighting anticipation of Christ's return
Keep pressing on
Perseverance in living for Jesus
Living for Jesus, singin' a song
Expressing dedication through song
'Til He calls His church away, watch and pray
Repetition underscores the importance of vigilance and prayer
'Til He calls His church away, watch and pray
-'Til He calls His church away, watch and pray
-(Watch and pray)
Reiterating the call to watchfulness and prayer
