THE HOUR IS LATE* (Pg 1 of 2)
(C.D./Ray Lenard)
(918) 827-2452/18875 South Pickett Road; Mounds, Oklahoma 74047
v1 There was a sense of urgency in the air
A hint of uncertainty everywhere
Some ignored it
Some explored it
And some said prayers.
Some saw the dark of the tomb of doom
Some saw the light of the promise about to bloom
The bloom was soon
It was coming
Everybody knew something was coming
(CHORUS)
v2 There was the sound of trumpets in the air
A cloud in the sky that was never there
Some were silent
Some were violent
And some said prayers.
Some tried to hide or run away
Some fell to their knees and began to pray
You could hear them say
?He?s coming!?
Then THEY ALL KNEW the Lord was coming.
(CHORUS)

THE HOUR IS LATE* (Pg 2 of 2)

Bridge So ?Watch?, as Jesus said
Don?t be misled
Turn around and call out HIS Name
Hurry now ? so little time remains.
(CHORUS)
CHORUS
Open your eyes - look to the horizon
The Son is rising
To take his place
Amazing Grace
Listen closely
Your Father?s calling
There?s a New Day dawning
No time to waste
The hour is late.
ADD to FINAL CHORUS:
No time to waste
The hour is late.
