Gone Songtext
von Tony Tillman

Gone, I′ma be gone, I'ma be gone
Gone, I′ma be gone, I'ma be

In the blink of an eye, I'ma be gone
I′ma be gone, I′ma, I'ma be gone
In the blink of an eye, I′ma be gone
I'ma be gone, I′ma, I'ma be gone
The dead in Christ will raise up first, the Christians everywhere
Will be caught up to meet the Savior in the air
In the blink of an eye, I′ma be gone
I'ma be gone, I'ma, I′ma be gone

I know my Savior′s coming, it won't, it won′t be long
And one day you'll look for me, but I′ma, I'ma be gone
I′ma, I'ma be home in the presence of the throne
Forever seeing my Maker and His face will be known
So I watch the sky with diligence, making sure my light is bright
Minding my own business in pursuit to lead a quiet life


Standing on them Scriptures, stronger than a stick of dynamite
Big Brother promised He gon' come
And get us quick as lightning strikes
That means Ferrari fast, I′m talking Lamborghini
I′ll disappear before your eyes and I won't need Houdini
Quicker than you can blink I′m gone and you'll no longer see me
This ain′t hyperboles or metaphors, I really mean it

And if you think I'm just making this track to sell a dream
Take a look at 1 Thessalonians 4 and 17

You′ll see it's true, this news is sweet, call it my lollipop
He'll catch us up and then transform our bodies like an auto shop

In the blink of an eye, I′ma be gone
I′ma be gone, I'ma, I′ma be gone
In the blink of an eye, I'ma be gone
I′ma be gone, I'ma, I′ma be gone
The dead in Christ will raise up first, the Christians everywhere
Will be caught up to meet the Savior in the air
In the blink of an eye, I'ma be gone
I'ma be gone, I′ma, I′ma be gone


They ask me how can I be happy when I see believers die, mayne
It's bittersweet, inside I′m sad but I don't cry, mayne
They just go off putting the coffin, screaming ′why,' mayne?
I just close my eyes and think I′ll meet you in the sky, mayne
Right now we fall to death but one day we gon' be untouchable
Now we feel dismay but one day we gon' be uncrushable
Our life within content with sin, soon we′ll be incorruptible
We′ll be one big family living better than the Huxtables
We waiting on that rapture, knowing He gon' take us sky high

Won′t be no time to pack or tell my people bye-bye
To a place of peaceful grace, away from hate and drive-bys
Absent pain and evil free, so He gon' wipe our eyes dry
In a blink of an eye, grandma gon′ leave behind her rocking chair
Girls gon' leave they shoes and dudes
Gon′ leave behind they rock of wear
Everyone that's evil and unbelieving will not be there

And like a thief, Christ will come and take the sheep

In the blink of an eye, I'ma be gone
I′ma be gone, I′ma, I'ma be gone
In the blink of an eye, I′ma be gone
I'ma be gone, I′ma, I'ma be gone
The dead in Christ will raise up first, the Christians everywhere
Will be caught up to meet the Savior in the air
In the blink of an eye, I′ma be gone
I'ma be gone, I'ma, I′ma be gone

Mayne, I can′t let myself get caught up chasing temporary cares

My future's bright, this present life ain′t fit to be compared
When that seventh trumpet sounds, saints will come up out the ground
And those in every town will meet with Jesus in the air, yeah

They say I'm going mad, crazy, deranged on ′em
They'll say I′m insane 'til I poof, David Blaine on 'em
Watch my body change on ′em, go ahead and mock my claims
In Noah′s day they did the same until the day it rained on 'em

I try and tell these dudes, keep on chasing wealth and shine
Keep on tryna find out God, relying on your selfish mind
And that time will come when angels
Blow the trump like, ′Help, it's time′
I'll be on that glory train, you just gon′ get left behind
And if you doubt this prophecy, best check your eschatology
This ain't my own knowledge, be no ifs, ands, buts, or probablys

This is fact, it's sure to happen by the Father′s sovereignty
He chose those whom He wants to go and He owes no apology

In the blink of an eye, I′ma be gone
I'ma be gone, I′ma, I'ma be gone
In the blink of an eye, I′ma be gone
I'ma be gone, I′ma, I'ma be gone
The dead in Christ will raise up first, the Christians everywhere
Will be caught up to meet the Savior in the air
In the blink of an eye, I'ma be gone
I′ma be gone, I′ma, I'ma be gone
