If you know where to get a better photo of Martin or Jones,
A wonderful time is just ahead,
The Lord whom we love and own
Will open the gates of glory land
Revealing His glory throne.
Refrain
A wonderful time for you,
A wonderful time for me,
If we are prepared
To meet Jesus the King,
A wonderful time ’twill be.
A wonderful time is just ahead,
Our conflicts and trials passed;
Our wilderness journey at an end,
Safe home every one at last.
Refrain
A wonderful time is just ahead,
The groans of creation cease;
And all that is held in bondage now
The Lord will that day release.
