Jesus' Second Coming Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Jesus said to his disciples
"Now I′ve told you before that I will die and be resurrected, and my time is near
For in two days is the Feast of the Passover
And at that time, I'm to be betrayed and crucified"

Concerning some of his prophecies on his death resurrection and his second coming
The disciples asked him, "Master, when will these things be?"
And Jesus said, "Don′t let any man deceive you
Many shall come in my name saying "I am the Messiah, the Christ"
And shall deceive many
You shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, but don't be troubled
For all these things must come to pass, and the end is not yet
For nation shall rise against nation
And kingdom against kingdom


There shall be famines, pestilence, earthquakes
These are only the beginnings of sorrow
And they shall deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you
And you shall be hated of all nations for my sake
And many shall be offended and shall betray each other
Many false prophets shall rise and deceive many
Iniquity shall abound
Love of many good men shall wax cold
But he that endures to the end shall be saved"

And Jesus said, a new commandment I give to you
That you love one another as I have loved you
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world
For a witness to all nations, and then shall the end come
For here is the way that I shall come
As the lightning shines out of the east and goes all the way to the west
So shall be the coming of the Son of Man
Heaven and earth shall pass away
But my words shall not pass away
What hour I return no man knows, only my Father knows
