I’ve had the words to a song -at least I THINK it’s the words to a song - running thru my head all afternoon and just cannot come up with title or the tune!  Can anyone help me ?  Hope so!

Here’s what I hear:

I can hear the sounds of His coming.  It’s getting closer and closer every day.

At least something like that!!!
It’s words I hear whenever I hear of another major natural disaster such as today with the earthquake hitting iceland!

Surely He will be coming “Soon and Very Soon”

The Sounds of His Coming

VERSE 1
I can hear the sound of His coming everywhere
In the headlines resounding by the score
It may be another earthquake or just another war
But to every child of God it’s something more
And when I hear the sound of marching
Hear the song of battle cry
Then I know my Lord is coming
Even now it may be nigh

CHORUS
And I can hear the sound of His coming everywhere
They’re getting louder and louder each day
And they’ll crescendo until that great and final sound
When the trumpet shall call me away

VERSE 2
I can hear the sound of fig leaves
Rustling in the summer breeze
As I see the Lord restore Jerusalem
And I can hear a sound from heaven
As a rushing mighty wind
As God pours His spirit out upon all men
And when I hear revival sounds
Not just here but everywhere
Then I know it’s almost over
I can feel it in the air

CHORUS
And I can hear the sound of His coming everywhere
They’re getting louder and louder each day
And they’ll crescendo until that great and final sound
When the trumpet shall call me away

TAG
And they’ll crescendo until that great and final sound
When the trumpet shall call me away

BINGO!!!!

Way to go Cliff!!!!

Who wrote it?
Who sang it?

I kept thinking Gaither, but just looked thru a Gaither songbook to no avail.  I also looked thru a couple of hymnals - one is Family of God hymnal, the other The Celebration Hymnal (this one even has some praise choruses in it)

Was it Lanny Wolfe, maybe???

Hey Sarah!  Good guess!!!  I just did a search for Lanny Wolfe music and found a website where I can order a 2 cd project of all Lanny Wolfe Favorites, and The Sounds of His Coming is on there!  I’m ordering it!!

Thanks!

I thought that was about the time Lanny was in his “heyday” of writing, and he songs were great ones!!!
