Long ago in a distant land, when the world was young,
You came to save us, to give us a hand,
Then you left us, you said that you'd come back again and you'd take us away,
Lord, I believe you, I believe what you said.

That you're coming back, oh, you're coming back,
Though it may be in the morning, may be afternoon, but you're coming back,
Oh, your coming back, though it may be in the evening, maybe real soon,
But I'm ready to go, yes, I'm ready to fly,
'Cause you're coming back, yes, you're coming back,
You're coming back to take me home.

So every morning when I awake and see the sun, I think of you, Lord,
I think of you,
'Cause you said you'd return,
I believe in your word, yes, I know that it's true,
Lord, I believe you, I believe what it says.

That you're coming back, yes, you're coming back,
Though it may be in the morning, may be afternoon, but you're coming back,
Oh, your coming back, though it may be in the evening, maybe real soon,
But I'm ready to go, yes, I'm a-ready to fly,
'Cause you're coming back, yes, you're coming back,
You're coming back to take me home.

You're coming back to take me home,
You're coming back to take me home.
Lord, yes, you're coming back to take me home.
Yes, you are, Almighty Lord,
Oh, you're coming back to take me home,
Yes, you're coming back to take me home,
Yeah, you're coming back to take me home.
