DECLARING OUR FAITH: The Return of
Christ
Leader: We do not want you to be ignorant
about those who fall asleep.
Or to grieve
like the rest of men, who have no hope.
We believe that Jesus died and rose
again
And so we
believe that God will bring with Jesus
Those who have
fallen asleep in Him.
For the Lord Himself
will come down from heaven,
With a loud command, with the voice of
the archangel
And with the
trumpet call of God,
And the dead
on Christ will rise first.
People: After that,
we who are still alive and are left,
Will be caught up together with them
in the clouds
To meet the Lord in
the air.
And so we
will be with the Lord forever.
Song of Response: “We Shall Behold Him”
