Lyrics
Only the Father Knows
Verse
We know the day is coming, we'll see him in the sky
A hundred million angels, flying by his side
He comes back because he promised, he'll come back to set us free
But no one here can tell us, when that day will be
Chorus
Only the Father knows, when that day will come
Only the Father knows, not the angles or the son
It's written in the book of time, for all eternity
This generation will not pass, till all these things they see
Verse
When the leaves are on the fig tree, we know its summer time
You'll know the end is coming, you'll know it from the signs
There'll be wars and rumors of wars, famine and disease
Heaven and earth may pass away, his words will always be
Chorus
Only the Father knows, when that day will come
Only the Father knows, not the angles or the son
It's written in the book of time, for all eternity
This generation will not pass, till all these things they see
Verse
The first will be last, the last will be first
A man won't be judged, by the money in his purse
There'll be no more hunger there'll be no more pain
He'll judge us for our words and deeds, in his holy name
Chorus
Only the Father knows, when that day will come
Only the Father knows, not the angles or the son
It's written in the book of time, for all eternity
This generation will not pass, till all these things they see
Heaven and earth may pass away, his words will always be
