One day we're gonna die
All the light will leave our eyes
Gonna bid this world goodbye
You and I
Can you feel it coming nigh?
Gonna open up the skies
Yes one day we're gonna fly
By and by
When the time has finally come
Gonna lay down all our guns
Gonna wake up in the sun
When it's done
Gonna open up our eyes
Gonna finally be alive
He Himself will be our Light
By and by
Oh brothers (brothers)
Sisters (sisters)
Grateful songs employ (ooo...)
There's a light that even death cannot destroy
When the trumpet splits the sky
And He comes to claim His bride
Gonna set the world to rise
By and by
I will shout and testify
In every sin and storm of life
Jesus never left my side
By and by
Oh brothers (brothers)
Sisters (sisters)
Grateful songs employ (ooo...)
There's a light that even death cannot destroy
Oh brothers (brothers)
Sisters (sisters)
Grateful songs employ (ooo...)
There's a light that even death cannot destroy
