He Will Come Again...

The truth abides; we do not hope in vain

One thing remains in Love’s eternal plan

In clouds of glory; Heaven’s Son of Man

As He has gone away will come again

Lift up those weary feet; do not despair

Though scoffers scoff and doubting doubters jeer

We do not labor for man’s glory here

Someday the Son of Man will fill the air

And every knee will bow low to the sod

And every tongue confess that He IS God

As in the days of Noah, long ago

God tells us this is how the end will be

Few will believe; living in vanity

But what He promised surely will be so

This is the day of grace; do not delay

For just as He ascended He will come

To take the wretched, ransomed sinner home

There is no second chance on Judgment Day

Look up; for lo, deliverance is here

And soon the Son of Man will re-appear

The Shepherd knows His sheep; the Groom His Bride

But grace and mercy plead on our behalf

He died so we may live; the careless laugh

Love pours more Time into this vapor-side

For He desires that none should be lost

Time trembles on an ephemeral string

Eternity is such an awesome thing

We cannot comprehend denial’s cost

Dare we the blood-shed love of Jesus spurn?

As He has gone away He will return

Happy Ascension Day to all!


May we live with this in mind; He is coming soon!
