You have heard of little Moses in the bull rush
You have heard of fearless David and his sling
You have heard the story told of dreaming joseph
And of Jonah and the whale you often sing
There are many, many others in the bible
I should like to meet them all I do declare
By and by the lord will surely let us meet them
At that meeting in the air
(Chorus) There is going to be a meeting in the air
In that sweet, sweet by and by
I am going to meet you, meet you over there
In that home beyond the sky
Such singing you will hear never heard by mortal ear
T’will be glorious I do declare
And God’s own son will be the leading one at that meeting in the air
Many things at that meeting will there be missin’ For the mourners bench will have no place at all There will never be a sermon preached to sinners for the sinner had refused to heed the call There will be no mourning over wayward loved ones There will be no lonely nights of pleading prayer. All our burdens and our anguish will be lifted at that meeting in the air.
