Thy Kingdom Come

No, we do not know the minute,
And we do not know the hour,
But at any moment
In the sky with awesome godly power,
Like curtains drawn, the sky will part,
Amidst a trumpet’s cry.
You will see the bride of Christ
Swept into the sky.
Grand reunion! Glorious day!
A moment unsurpassed.
God will claims His own and then,
The King will come at last.
The question of questions, Beloved,
Is not “How long will it be?”
The question of questions, rather,
Is “Just how ready are we?”
“Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done” –
Those are the words we’re praying.
But oh, dear one,
do we know what we are saying?
We’re asking God to humble us,
To teach us how to pray,
To make King Jesus Lord of all,
Day after day after day.
We’re asking God to give to us
A kingdom kind of vision,
We’re asking Him, whate’er the cost,
To fulfill the great commission.
We’re asking God to take our prayers
And make His will our aim,
So that our every prayer fulfilled
Will glorify his name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
Oh, dear God, we plead.
May we pray and mean it,
Thy kingdom come, indeed.
