In The Twinkling Of An Eye

 In the twinkling of an eye we shall all be transformed,  In the twinkling of an eye

 Then our mortal flesh will be made incorruptible,  In the twinkling of an eye

   When the final trumpet for the journey blows

   Then the dwelling place of God will be our home

 In the city of the Lord we'll spend eternity,  In the city of the Lord

 There will be no need for sun or moon to shine on us,  In the city of the Lord

   For the glory of the Lord will make it bright

   And the Son will wipe each tear from all our eyes

Refrain: And the Lamb will be our light, And the Lamb will be our light

  And the Lamb will be, be our light

 "Marana tha" is the cry of all the faithful ones,  "Marana tha" is the cry

 The Alpha and Omega shall return to take us home,  and "Marana tha" is our cry

   And then death will be destroyed along with night

   And all those who thirst will taste water of life  

 In the twinkling of an eye we shall all be transformed,  In the twinkling of an eye

 Then, like Jesus, we will be made incorruptible,  In the twinkling of an eye

   When the final trumpet for the journey blows

   Then the New Jerusalem will be our home
