Lyrics
We are waiting patiently,
Counting all the days 'til He comes,
'Til that hour of ecstasy,
(we're) Counting all the days 'til He comes,
In the twinkling of an eye-
He will raise us up on high,
That is why we're satisfied--
(just) Counting all the days 'til He comes,
We have Christ's work here to do--
(while) Counting all the days 'til He comes,
The Holy Ghost is with us too--
(while) Counting all the days 'til He comes,
We don't worry, we won't fret,
We don't have any regrets,
All our time is so well spent--
(while) Counting all the days 'til He comes,
We know Christ is on His way,
(we're) Counting all the days 'til He comes,
He said He'd return someday,
(we're) Counting all the days 'til He comes,
When the Eastern sky opens,
We'll see Him come back again,
Come, Lord Jesus, soon--amen,
(we're) Counting all the days 'til He comes,
Count the blessings given you,
Count on me to count you too,
Count yourself amoung the few--
(whose) Counting all the days 'til He comes,
