Introduction:
C G
But I do not want you to be ignorant,
F
brethren, concerning those
who have fallen asleep,
C F
lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
C
For if we believe that Jesus died and
F C
rose again, even so God will bring with Him
F
those who sleep in Jesus.
G
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord,
F G C F
that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord
C F C
will by no means precede those who are asleep.
C F
For the Lord Himself will descend
C
from heaven with a shout,
G
with the voice of an archangel,
C
and with the trumpet of God.
F
Hear it sounding loud and clear,
G
He's coming soon.
C F G
And the dead in Christ will rise first.
C G
Then we who are alive and remain shall be
F C
caught up together with them in the clouds
F G
to meet the Lord in the air.
C F C F
And thus we shall, we shall always be with the Lord.
G C
We'll always be with the Lord
F G C
Therefore comfort one another with these words.
