10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, go!

Countdown for the king

Countdown for the king

The time has come for all the world

For everyone to sing

Countdown for the king

Countdown for the king

Everyone across the world

Lift your voice and sing

Two thousand years ago

God came to earth as man

Bringing a hope for life

And all that is to come

Now we commemorate

A pinnacle of time

Then we will celebrate

When Christ returns again

No more death or mourning

No more crying or pain

All old things will pass away

Every eye will see him

Every knee will bow

Praise and honour

Glory and power for ever

Andrew & Wendy Rayner, July 1998
