The Time Has Come
Acappella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
of how he loves us like that the father and of the spirit that he gives.
The time has come to take the message to those who'll never be the same-
too many bound by false religion, to those who've never heard his name.
Chorus:
The time has come to tell the nations; the time has come to spread the word.
In every town we must confess it; we must reveal our precious Lord.
It is for every single nation. We cannot wait- the time has come.
From Macedonia, the call is sounding. Earnest and bold the people wait.
The countless children in Peking, China; The thirsting souls of Uruguay;
The time has come to go to Boston, Salt Lake, Nashville, to Abilene.
Yes from L.A. to New York City and every county in between.
Repeat Chorus
The time has come, the Time Has Come, the TIME HAS COME!
Scriptural Reference:
"After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: 'Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.'" John 17:1
