If it were not so I would have told you,
I go to prepare a place for thee.
I will come again and receive you,
That where I am you may be.

For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven,
With a shout and the dead in Christ shall rise.
And we shall be caught up together with them,
We who remain and are alive.

And we shall be changed, we shall be changed,
For this sinful body shall no longer remain.
We shall be changed, we shall be changed,
This body of sin no longer reign.

Then shall come to pass, this saying that is written,
Death is swallowed up in victory.
Oh death where is thy sting? Oh death where is thy sting?
For we shall put on immortality.

And we shall be changed, yes we shall be changed,
For this mortal body shall no longer remain.
Oh death where is your sting? Where is your victory?
For we shall put on immortality.
Yes, we shall put on immortality!
