Caught Up Together
By John R. Rice
Lyrics
And O what a raising of life from the dead
The graves bursting open to give up God′s children
Those bodies long moldered in grave's dusty bed
Caught up to greet him together, together
Caught up with Jesus and never to part
Changed in a moment to be with my Saviour
Caught up together and never to part
Expecting the rapture, caught up in the clouds
The world has its sorrows, we′ll leave them so gladly
We'll wipe all our tears when the trumpet calls loud
O grave, where the victory long you have known
All changed then the living, and all go together
And O what a gathering to Christ of His own
From Abel to Moses, from David to Paul
Come up, all ye martyrs, soul-winners, Christ-lovers
All under the blood of our Saviour, come all
Bible Reference
1 Thessalonians 4:17
