For if we believe that Yeshua died and rose again
Even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep
This we tell you by the Word of the Lord
That we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord
Will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout
With the voice of the archangel and the shofar of God
The dead in Messiah will rise first
Then we who are alive, who are left
Will be caught up together with them in the clouds
To meet the Lord in the air
So we will be with the Lord forever (x3)
For you yourselves know well
The day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night
For when they're saying "Peace and safety,"
Then sudden destruction will come on them
Like birth pains on a pregnant woman
And they will in no way escape
No way escape
But you aren't in darkness
That the day should overtake you like a thief
You are all children of light and the children of the day
They don't belong to the night, nor to darkness
For those who sleep, sleep in the night
And those who are drunk are drunk in the night
Rejoice always
Pray without ceasing
In everything give thanks
For this is the will of God in Messiah Yeshua toward you
So we will be with the Lord forever
For you yourselves know well
The day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night
For when they're saying "Peace and safety,"
Then sudden destruction will come on them
Like birth pains on a pregnant woman
And they will in no way escape
But you aren't in darkness
That the day should overtake you like a thief
You are all children of light and children of the day
We don't belong to the night, nor to darkness
Then let's not sleep, as the rest do
But let us watch and be sober
So we will be with the Lord forever (x2)
