One Day

 

He’ll rent the sky as the Bible says

He could come at any time

Though the critics critique and the scoffers scorn

On this you can fix your mind.

In a flash the Bible says he will come

Like lightning across the sky

No time to prepare but lots of time to regret

Many will howl and will sigh.

“If only I had known,” many will say

“I would have prepared for this event.”

But God’s word they had spurned though they had known

Accepting was not their intent.

The excuses were many as the entreaty came

The distractions were quite a few

And procrastination was the order of the day

There was a bit of mockery too.

Who would believe this fairy tale

That God had come to earth,

Born in a stable, an animal trough for a cradle

And angels announcing his birth?

Born of a virgin! Whoever heard such a thing?

Doing miracles of all kinds and sorts

Walking around with a pathetic group of societal misfits

Such miscreants were his cohort.

“Ha, ha, ha!”  They would have laughed

Such fables are for children

And that book that they call God’s infallible word

Is rubbish from beginning to ending.

But one day they’ll see their error

One day he will be here

And the incredible unbelievable, disputable will occur

And men’s hearts will fail them for fear.

Sometimes I question it too

And it seems hard to believe

But then I remember I must accept God by faith

And His assurance I receive.

One Day

 

 

He’ll rent the sky as the Bible says

He could come on any day

Though the critics critique and the scoffers scorn

He might even be on his way.

Do not be the one to lose out

Don’t follow that group of losers

Their leader is Satan, the devil, a.k.a. the fraud

He is the world’s chief abuser.

Loser turned abuser

From heaven he was thrown out

Now as prince of the power of the air he plots

How he can get you and me to doubt.

He wants as many to join him

In that place God has prepared for him

For hell was prepared for the devil and his angels

And them that repented not of their sin.

 

 

Christ is coming just like he said

And every eye will see him: both the living and the dead

For God’s judgment beckons to every man

And in Hebrews 9:27-28 this can be read.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
