Eu O Espero Voltar

How many times have I cried thinking of Christ
In His glorious coming in another life
How many times in this world we have suffered
Bitterness of living so far from home

I hope to see Christ returning in glory
With His holy angels in a cloud in the sky
It's near and I know He won't delay
Soon we will see Him triumphant at home

Our home is not here
Our home is far beyond
From this world so afflicted
From this life of no one

I hope to return, Lord
I hope for this day to come
When the light of life illuminates the whole sky
I want to then contemplate my Lord

I hope to return, Lord
I hope for this day to come
Nothing will stop me from contemplating
Your face on the final day

Our home is not here
Our home is far beyond
From this world so afflicted
From this life of no one

I hope to return, Lord
I hope for this day to come
When the light of life illuminates the whole sky
I want to then contemplate my Lord

I hope to return, Lord
I hope for this day to come
Nothing will stop me from contemplating
Your face on the final day
