Much faster than the blink of an eye 
Lightning will flash and He'll split the sky 
Nobody knows the day or the time 
The trumpet will sound and we will arise 

When heaven calls 
And this life is over 
We'll stand before our God and Savior 
When heaven calls we must be ready 
To trade these mortal things for immortality 
When heaven calls 

For every man there is a time 
To love and to laugh, to live and to die 
So I'm living for the One who is love 
And I'm dying to hear Him say well done 

When heaven calls 
And this life is over 
We'll stand before our God and Savior 
When heaven calls we must be ready 
To trade these mortal things for immortality 
When heaven calls 

How behold the Lamb 
Who takes away my sin 
The splendor of paradise 
Will welcome me with arms opened wide 

When heaven calls 
And this life is over 
We'll stand before our God and Savior 
When heaven calls we must be ready 
To trade these mortal things for immortality 
When heaven calls
