clouds, praise the Lord!, image by C.B. Harris
When the trumpet sounds
I know my Redeemer
Lives on high
The One who created
Earth, heavens and sky
I know my Creator
Doesn't sleep or slumber
The One who created
Rainbows and thunder
I know my Savior
Never lies nor sins
Just by his voice
Life once again begins
I know my Intercessor
Pleads for my mistakes
The One who made
Rivers, dams and lakes
I know that one day
I will see Him in the clouds
He will come with his angels
When the trumpet sounds
