Quite Suddenly - Phil Keaggy

Quite suddenly, it may at the turning of a lane

Where I stand to watch a skylark soar from out of the swelling grain

That the trump of God shall thrill me with its call so loud and clear

And I’m called away to meet Him whom of all I hold most dear.

Quite suddenly, it may be in His houses I bend my knee

When a Kingly voice long hoped for comes at last to summon me And the fellowship of earthlife that has seemed so passing sweet

Proves nothing but the shadow of our meeting 'round His feet.

Quite suddenly, quite suddenly.

Quite suddenly, it may be as I lie in dreamless sleep

God’s gift to many a sorrowing heart with no more tears to weep

That a call shall break my slumber and a voice sound in my ear

Rise up, my love, and come away behold the Bridegroom’s here.

Quite suddenly, quite suddenly, aahh …

Quite suddenly.
