I know Christ will return right on time- but I've got to express my opinion that when I look at the world and it's needs- He's been too long gone!

Lyrics
Too Long Gone Dan Adkins (Chorus) You’ve been too long gone Lord We’re looking for your coming today Too long gone Lord We’re longing to see your face The signs of the time have come to pass Things on earth are going downhill fast So come on back, take us home at last Lord you’ve been too long gone Believers that you left behind Were looking for you way back then But now it’s been two thousand years Won’t you come on back again I know the clock is wound by the hand divine I know you’ll be coming right on time But I’ve got to state this view of mine Lord, you’ve been too long gone (Chorus) You’ve been too long gone Lord We’re looking for your coming today Too long gone Lord We’re longing to see your face The signs of the time have come to pass Things on earth are going downhill fast So come on back, take us home at last Lord you’ve been too long gone I know that we’re about to see The final page of history And Lord, I just want you to know It can’t be too soon for me I’m ready to tell this world goodbye I’m ready to meet you in the sky Then I won’t ever have to die Lord, you’ve been too long gone (Chorus) You’ve been too long gone Lord We’re looking for your coming today Too long gone Lord We’re longing to see your face The signs of the time have come to pass Things on earth are going downhill fast So come on back, take us home at last Lord you’ve been too long gone
