took a forty day long journey
to tell them all he had to say
With one question still unanswered
as they watched him go away
An angel came and told them
what they'd not understood
Though he seemed good and gone,
he ain't gone for good
Now we still hear the promise
that's been echoed
through the years
It's the source of all we hope for
The faith beyond the fear
It's the reason for believing
He's the only one who could
And though it seems He's good and gone
He ain't gone for good
The mockers and the scoffers
say he ain't coming back
But concerning every prophecy,
he's been right on track
A pyramus can be deceiving
If you ain't looking where you should
And though he seems good and gone
He ain't gone for good
Now we still hear the promise
that's been echoed
Through the years
It's the source of all we hope for
The faith beyond the fear
It's the reason for believing
He's the only one who could
And though it seems He's good and gone
He ain't gone for good
It's the reason for believing
He's the only one who could
Though it seems he's good and gone
He ain't gone for good you
