Things to Come
By Matthew Kalliman
Revelation 1:1-3; 5:1-14; 6:15-17; 10:1-11; 18:1-24; 19:11-16; 16:15; 2:7
Up in heaven sat a Being
Ruling from a throne supreme
With a book in His right hand
Which contained the things He planned
Seven seals upon the book
None could open, none could look
Till a Lamb was found alone
Worthy to approach the throne
When the angels saw the Lamb
Take the book from God’s right hand
Then they sang a mighty song
Praising Him with voices strong
When the seals He opened wide
Men on earth began to hide
Seeking shelter, finding none
For the wrath of God was come!
CHORUS
John received the Revelation
Which God the Father gave unto His Son
To show His servants many things to come
Which shortly must be done!
God’s great book had been unsealed
Ready now to be revealed
Jesus sent an angel strong
With the message, unto John
In his hand an open book
One which John stepped up and took
John wrote all the things he saw
Filled with wonder, filled with awe
God will punish Babylon
"Come on out, my people, come!"
There will be a mighty fall
She’ll be found no more at all
Jesus will be kinged and crowned
Satan will be chained and bound
Saints will start their new careers
Reigning for a thousand years!
CHORUS
Up in heaven sat a Being
Ruling from a throne supreme
With a book in His right hand
Which contained the things He planned
Jesus sent an angel strong
With the message unto John
John bore record of the Word
All the things he saw and heard
Now the message comes to you
Read it, for the words are true!
When those things you read and hear
Keep them, for the time is near!
Be awake and not asleep
All of His commandments keep
These shall be the Bride of Christ
Eating of the tree of life
CHORUS
Which shortly must be done!
Which shortly must be done!
Ruling from a throne supreme
With a book in His right hand
Which contained the things He planned
Seven seals upon the book
None could open, none could look
Till a Lamb was found alone

When the angels saw the Lamb
Take the book from God’s right hand
Then they sang a mighty song
Praising Him with voices strong
When the seals He opened wide
Men on earth began to hide
Seeking shelter, finding none
For the wrath of God was come!
