I was motivated by the need to express the "tension" between the wonderful hope and terrible judgement aspects of the apocalyptic scenario. There are flashbacks to the first advent but this is basically a song about preparing for Christ's soon return.

THE LORD IS COME
The Lord is come, on a great white horse, his army rides, the sky their course.
The Lord is come, to set things right, the evil run, from His bright light.
The Lord is come, as was foretold, too late for those, whose love grew cold.

The Lord is come, and the lightning flashes, The Lord is come, and the thunder crashes.
The Lord is come, watch the wicked perish, The Lord is come, for the loved ones cherished. Loved ones cherished.

The Lord is come, he has returned, his glory shines, his Kingdom earned.
The Lord is come, our master's here, have you served well, then have no fear.
The Lord is come; to end our pain, dry all our tears, forgive our blame.
The Lord is come, are your clothes clean, The Lord is come, with a sword that gleams.
The Lord is come, watch the wicked fall, the Lord is come, he is the King of all. King of all.

The Lord is come, the trumpet sounds, the dead are raised, the lost are found.
The Lord, The Lord, The Lord is coming some day.

The Lord is come, with his reward, eternal life, for some the sword.
The Lord, The Lord, The Lord is coming some day.

The Lord is come, to claim his bride, for those he redeemed, for whom he died.
The Lord, The Lord, The Lord is coming some day...
