Our pastor mentioned this song in the Sunday service last week. When I got home I searched for it on the internet. I wrote the lyrics down and it inspired me to do a page that represents God motioning to the Archangel Gabriel that it is time to blow the trumpet signalling the return of Christ who will break through the Eastern sky!
Gabriel’s Already Standing
Song by Lonesome River Band
Lyrics:
Gabriel’s already standing,
Gabriel’s already standing…….
Earthquakes, rumors of war
We’re closer than we ever have been before
He told us in Matthew 24
When you see these things you’ll know
Gabriel’s already standing.
Angels are waiting with a mighty band
Gabriel’s standing with a trumpet in his hand
Waiting on the Lord’s command.
Look up, brother, the time is nigh
It’s all going to happen in the blink of an eye
When Jesus splits that Eastern sky
The saints go marching in
Gabriel’s already standing
Angels are waiting with a mighty band
Gabriel’s standing with a trumpet in his hand
Waiting on the Lord’s command.
Wake up sinner we’re short on time
Just open your eyes and see the signs
You don’t want to be one left behind
When you hear that trumpet blow
Gabriel’s already standing
Angels are waiting with a mighty band
Gabriel’s standing with a trumpet in his hand
Oh, Gabriel’s already standing.
Angels are waiting with a mighty band
Gabriel’s standing with a trumpet in his hand
Just waiting on the Lord’s command.
Journaling reads: I don’t know if angels have wings. The Bible does mention the cherubim having wings, but I don’t know what type of beings they are. But I think they are different from the angels that do God’s bidding.
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory… And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other… But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only… Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Matthew 24:30, 31, 36, 42
