STOP THE WORLD
Author(s): Paul Michael
Songbook: Love Songs Songbook
KeyWords: Endtime,

Let no man deceive you by word or by letter
That the day of our Lord is at hand,
For that day shall not come
Except there shall be a great falling away first,
And that man of sin,
The son of perdition,
He shall be revealed.
From Egypt he shall come,
The Devil's son,
With his mark the world shall be sealed.

Signs in the sun, the stars and the moon,
Men's hearts failing for fear,
For this great red beast with terror shall rule the world
For three and one half years;
And just when it looks like the end for God's children,
The Lord shall appear,
And then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn
When they shall hear Jesus saying,

First Chorus:
"Stop the world, stop the world,
I'm taking My children home.
Stop the world, stop the world,
I'm taking My children home."

As lightning shines from the east to the west
So shall the Son of man return,
Right after those days of Great Tribulation,
In the sight of the whole world.
Just when it looks like the end for God's children
The Lord shall appear,
And then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn
When they shall hear Jesus saying,

Second Chorus:
"Stop the world, stop the world,
I'm taking My children home.
Come, thou good and faithful servants,
Into the joy of thy Lord."

[Repeat First Chorus Twice]
