When the Shepherd Calls

The Lord is coming with a shout.
   From Heaven He'll descend.
He'll take me too my Heavenly home
   and i'll never hurt again.
Joy and love will much abound
   around my Saviors throne.
There'll be no pain or sorrow there
   when Jesus takes me home.
Oh, happy day my heart cries out
   when I was cleansed from sin.
      I'm going to be with Jesus
         and i'll never cry again.

           I'll never hurt again,
             I'll never cry again.
         Heavens gates will open
              and i'll enter in.
            I'll never hurt again,
              I'll never cry again
         When my Shepherd calls
           and I go home with Him.

There'll be no cruelty in God's house.
   There will be no sightless eyes.
There will be peace,there will be joy,
   There will be love devine.
There will be no twisted bodies there.
    We will see no children die.
Jesus will gather them in His arms
    and wipe away tears from their eyes

When Jesus comes and takes you home
    with Him through Heavens door,
The things of earth will pass away
    you'll remember them no more.
Your mind will rest,your body too
    will no more feel the stress,
Of the painful daily struggle
    while you're longing for God's rest.
You'll share in His great Kingdom
    because you've loved His Son.
       You've been a faithfull servant
          and He'll say to you,"Well done."

            There'll never be hurt again.
                No one will cry again
            Heavens gates will open.
                We'll be welcomed in.
            No one will hurt again.
                 No one will cry again.
            When our Shepherd calls
                 and we go home with Him
