Karl Kohlhase - Repent! Lyrics

Have you not heard the voice of the Lord
Calling from Heaven?
Intoned like a song, it’s mournful yet strong
A cry from the mountain
Echoing down, every valley resounds
The voice of the Son of God pleading aloud
Hear Him say...

Repent! I am coming
The Bridegroom is ready to marry His bride
Repent! I am coming
But she’s unprepared now to stand at My side

Splitting the sky with His sorrowful cry
It echoes like thunder
His words and His tears fall on deaf ears
And it fills Him with wonder
How long will she wait while the hour grows late?
The voice of the Bridegroom is heard at the gate once again...

Repent! I am coming
The Bridegroom is ready to marry His bride
Repent! I am coming
But she’s unprepared now to stand at My side

I am coming
Are you ready?
Are you wearing your wedding clothes?
Are you spotless, without wrinkle?
Are you wearing your white robes?
Is there oil left in your lantern?
Does the fire I lit still burn?
Are you ready?
Will I even find faith when I return?

All who have ears, let them now hear
The Bridegroom is calling
Awake from your deep and slumbering sleep
The day is now dawning
The time has arrived for the dead to arise
The Husband approaches calling His bride once again...

Repent! I am coming
The Bridegroom is ready to marry His bride
Repent! I am coming
But she’s unprepared now to stand at My side
