Gospel Song – We Shall Be Changed
Gospel Song – We Shall Be Changed.
Little is known about this classic gospel song, including who the composer was and when it was composed. The joy and hope of this song is infectious. With its buoyancy, this song could be triumphantly sung at a memorial or funeral service. The lyrics are taken directly from 1 Corinthians 15:51-57: “Behold, I tell you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed – in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must be on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when the corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory. O! Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?’ But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Chorus:
We shall be changed! We shall be changed!
Changed from the mortal to immortality,
in the twinkling of an eye.

(various supportive verses, depending on the performer):
Well, I’ll show you mystery, we shall not all see.
We’ll be changed immediately, in the twinkling of an eye.
If you sow in weakness, you’ll be raised in heaven.
About the same hour, in the twinkling of an eye.
Be you saint or mortal, you’re gonna put on immortality.
You’ll be swallowed up in victory, in the twinkling of an eye.
