Frontline Coming For Me
I spoke here and then
In one of the hardest sermons I ever preached
For what do you say
To a group that has just lost half their congregation
Including the pastor?
And then they all stood up
The surviving group
And they sang a song to us
What STRENGTH!
For my Christians in China, Sudan, Pakistan
Vision what Christ is doing, and rally on
This race at a great pace, keep pressing
So brave like your faith ain't being tested
His message: Revenge is His
So forgive as He forgives and He'll avenge His kids
Last in the world means first in the Kingdom
You encourage us because you thirst for the Kingdom
I had a few money troubles
A few car crashes
A few funny scuffles, now I laugh at it
'Cause at least I can roll out of church on a Sunday
And give my testimony 'bout the grace of the Lord
There's people in the world, they don't get the privilege
Not allowed to say nothing 'bout the risen King
But it's all in the Lord's plans
I leave it all in the Lord's hands
We in the building, children
That means we are one body
If you cut yourself, then your blood runs from me
I've got your back fam, I'm your spinal cord
Let other men praise you and I applaud you
Even though you might be persecuted
Focus is on God - the work He's doing
It's intense, I pray He defends your life
'til the day we meet my dear friends, adios
Chorus
He sees the hurt He sees the scars
Sees the tears He sees the pain
Even though the end seems far, keep on standing in His name
Said He’ll never leave, He promised us
So we pray and in God in we trust
On that great day all believers will say
Hey, the Lord’s coming back for me
Yeah, the Lord’s coming back for me
Give praise for the grace giving
Based in Great Britain ain't a taste how they're living
Their pride - some for their faith, imprisoned
Even leaving like Stephen ain't safe from the strays hitting
Enduring hardships, martyred by the heartless Regardless, we pray for our enemies with fasting
Waiting for Christ to come back on the fasting
So we don't cherish the present, we look after
It's a paradox; afraid of being free
It's the cost of paper, business will never cease
City streets to spread love overseas
Sharing your heart in cities not guaranteed
Let’s agree, get on knees for the gift of belief
Use our voice to give choice to those who suffer and bleed
Injustice prevails not because of the violent
Injustice prevails when the free remain silent
We just wanna tell 'em that Jesus rules
But they don't wanna listen they're mean and cruel
They're not Everton they leave a pool
Of blood that could have been me and you
Being killed 'cause we love Christ
Being whipped, being chained for the Gospel of Jesus
Let's pray, let's support them, they need us
Lord bless and protect those believers
Chorus
He sees the hurt He sees the scars
Sees the tears He sees the pain
Even though the end seems far, keep on standing in His name
Said He’ll never leave, He promised us
So we pray and in God in we trust
On that great day all believers will say
Hey, the Lord’s coming back for me
Yeah, the Lord’s coming back for me
For every Christian that dies there’s a missionary
I’m telling you envision cos television is telling me lies like there isn’t any
In a city where we can meet with no fear
Yet we’re too busy to take a peak through the rear view
We rarely view the truth of it all
Cos the news only bring us what they choose to report
Knife fear rising from at a glance
Seen it with my own eyes I'm from Pakistan
Their blood is the seed of the church so I
Hear the sea for the sea and the works
So remember the chains
Little sunshines I'll remember the pain
That rains on my brothers and sisters
He will avenge so we're hoping
Praying and never moping
Eternity’s what our scope is
So though right now it’s a strain
To live is Christ, and to die is gain
Chorus
He sees the hurt He sees the scars
Sees the tears He sees the pain
Even though the end seems far, keep on standing in His name
Said He’ll never leave, He promised us
So we pray and in God in we trust
On that great day all believers will say
Hey, the Lord’s coming back for me
Yeah, the Lord’s coming back for me
