DRUMS

 

Something’s coming!

The sound of distant drums so faint

A whisper in my ear

That cause my heart to tremble, quake

As soul and body stain to hear

Something’s coming!

But hidden now to sight

Only the sound of distant drums

That pound a warning through the night

And louder as the tumult comes

Something’s coming!

I’ve heard this sound before

It echoes in my memory

The sound of changes at the door

Of who, or what, or where I’ll be

Something’s coming!

Will I be ready when

With blast of trumpet’s sound it sweeps

Across the battlefield and then

Lays down it’s changes at my feet?

Something’s coming!

O Jesus hold me tight

For distant drums sound out the promise

Echoing across the night

That changes are upon us!
