The King Is Coming
The Glorious Arrival: Revelations in 'The King Is Coming' Song Meaning
Lyrics
I can hear the chariots rumble
I perceive the approaching chariots with a rumbling sound
I can see the marching throng
I witness a multitude of people marching
The flurry of God's trumpets
The excitement of God's trumpets signals the end of sin and wrongdoing
Spells the end of sin and wrong
Regal robes are unfolding, indicating a majestic event
Regal robes are now unfolding
Heaven's grandstand is prepared for the event
Heaven's grandstand's all in place
Heaven's choir is assembled and begins singing "Amazing Grace"
Heaven's choir is now assembled
Emphasizing the anticipation and joy in the arrival of the King
Start to sing Amazing Grace
Expressing the beauty of the moment and the grace of God
O the King is coming
Declaration of the imminent arrival of the King
The King is coming
Reiteration of the announcement of the King's coming
I just heard the trumpets sounding
Audible confirmation of the trumpets announcing the King
And now His face I see
The singer now beholds the face of the King
O the King is coming
Repeated declaration of the imminent arrival of the King
The King is coming
Renewed emphasis on the King's imminent arrival
Praise God, He's coming for me
Expressing gratitude that the King is coming for the singer
Happy faces line the hallways
Description of joyous and redeemed individuals in the hallways
Those whose lives have been redeemed
Depiction of lives that have been transformed and saved
Broken homes that He has mended
Recognition of homes that have been repaired by the King
Those from prison He has freed
Acknowledgment of those freed from prison by the King
Little children and the aged
Inclusion of both little children and the elderly, all glowing with joy
Hand in hand stand all aglow
People standing together, hand in hand, filled with warmth
Who were crippled, broken, ruined
Transformation of individuals who were once crippled, broken, and ruined
Clad in garments white as snow
People now adorned in garments white as snow, symbolizing purity
O the King is coming
Reiteration of the announcement of the King's coming
The King is coming
Renewed emphasis on the King's imminent arrival
I just heard the trumpets sounding
Audible confirmation of the trumpets announcing the King
And now His face I see
The singer now beholds the face of the King
O the King is coming
Repeated declaration of the imminent arrival of the King
The King is coming
Renewed emphasis on the King's imminent arrival
Praise God, He's coming for me
Expressing gratitude that the King is coming for the singer
O the King is coming
Reiteration of the announcement of the King's coming
The King is coming
Renewed emphasis on the King's imminent arrival
I just heard the trumpets sounding
Audible confirmation of the trumpets announcing the King
And now His face I see
The singer now beholds the face of the King
O the King is coming
Repeated declaration of the imminent arrival of the King
The King is coming
Renewed emphasis on the King's imminent arrival
Praise God, He's coming for me
Expressing gratitude that the King is coming for the singer
Praise God, He's coming for me
Final affirmation of praise that the King is coming for the singer
He's coming, He's coming
Reiteration of the imminent arrival of the King
