"You Are Coming Sooner than Thought"
TEXT: Mark Ryman (©2004) based on Luke 12:49-56. More hymns at edoxy.com.
TUNE: "Plainfield" by Robert Lowry (1876).

Jesus, not my will but yours.
You are coming sooner than thought.
Help me give up all my stores.
You are coming sooner than thought.

Refrain:
Lift your eyes to the east
Lighting is soon released.
Just one thing saves the least;
nothing but the blood of Jesus.

They can have all that I own.
You are coming sooner than thought.
In my heart your light has shone.
You are coming sooner than thought.

I can’t warehouse all your wealth.
You are coming sooner than thought.
Your coming will be with stealth.
You are coming sooner than thought.

I will always work for you.
You are coming sooner than thought.
I wish all of this world knew.
You are coming sooner than thought.
