When Heaven Calls

Much faster than the blink of an eye

Lightning will flash and He'll split the sky

Nobody knows the day or the time

The trumpet will sound and we will arise

When heaven calls

And this life is over

We'll stand before our God and Savior

When heaven calls we must be ready

To trade these mortal things for immortality

When heaven calls

For every man there is a time

To love and to laugh, to live and to die

So I'm living for the One who is Love

And I'm dying to hear, hear Him say well done

When heaven calls

And this life is over

I'll stand before my God and Savior

When heaven calls I will be ready

To trade these mortal things for immortality

When heaven calls

Now behold the Lamb

Who takes away my sin

The splendor of paradise

Will welcome me with arms opened wide

When heaven calls

And this life it will be over

We'll stand before our God and Savior

When heaven calls I must, you must be ready

To trade these mortal things for immortality

When heaven calls
