You know the first time he came, he came as a helpless little baby.
[F]
But the next time he comes, my [Bb] friend, he's going to [Ebm] come as King of Kings and [Ab] Lord of Lords.
And in that [Eb] day, every eye shall see, and [Db] every knee shall bow, and every [Gb] tongue shall
confess that he is indeed Lord.
And the marketplace [Ebm] in downtown Birmingham is going to be empty.
No more traffic in the [Db] streets.
All the builders' tools are silent.
No [Gb] more time [Eb] to [Abm] harvest.
[F] [Gb] Busy housewives cease their labors.
