Not Waiting For Jesus To Come

Verse 1
Maybe I speak out of turn
But the soles of my feet burn
And time is slipping away

Verse 2
But everyone knows it's true
Yes my brother even you
That these are the final days

Verse 3
Our world's falling apart
Just like my breaking heart
Who can put it back together

Verse 4
Everything's breaking down
The leaves are turning brown
It's getting near the end of never

Refrain
I'm just sitting on this cosmic shore
As the clouds blot out the sun
I can tell you one thing for sure
I ain't waiting for Jesus to come
No I ain't waiting for Jesus to come

Verse 5
Bells ring out from the spire
Move away from the fire
Where the letters are burning

Verse 6
There's no use in being brave
They'll be no-one left to save
For no-one is returning

Verse 7
You say 'we must repent
For all that time we spent
Doing things that gave us pleasure'

Verse 8
But that's the role of man
In doing all he can
To uncover that buried treasure

Refrain
But don't hold your breath any more
Coz the battle can't be won
I can tell you one thing for sure
I ain't waiting for Jesus to come
No I ain't waiting for Jesus to come

Verse 9
Baby don't ignore my words
Or tell me that you misheard
All that I say

Verse 10
I don't say you shouldn't believe
I ain't saying you are naïve
That's not my way

Verse 11
For no Saviour's gonna come
Shining like the sun
To save the world

Verse 12
Although we may disagree
It's up to you and me
Every man, woman, boy and girl

Refrain
There's no miracles or magic cure
There is no place left to run
But I can tell you one thing for sure
I ain't waiting for Jesus to come
No I ain't waiting for Jesus to come

Paul Thomas
