('Hail the day that sees Him rise')
Acts 1 v.5-11
********
John did baptise with water - Alleluia!
Christ said disciples for sure - Alleluia!
Would be baptised in few days - Alleluia!
With the Spirit, praises raise - Alleluia!
Earthly kingdoms they all be - Alleluia!
In God the Father's hands, see - Alleluia!
Under His authority - Alleluia!
When and what He says shall be - Alleluia!
Disciples they would receive - Alleluia!
Power, and all who believe - Alleluia!
When the Holy Spirit comes - Alleluia!
Upon all them, not just some - Alleluia!
They shall be His witnesses - Alleluia!
Share the gospel, people bless - Alleluia!
Even to earth's farthest shore - Alleluia!
Salvation proclaimed e'ermore - Alleluia!
They beheld, Christ was taken - Alleluia!
To heaven, though forsaken - Alleluia!
Were they not, the Spirit's power - Alleluia!
Would come, stay with them each hour - Alleluia!
Cloud receives Him from their sight - Alleluia!
Defies gravity, but right - Alleluia!
For death He has conquered sure - Alleluia!
He e'er lives now, dies no more - Alleluia!
Two men unto them appeared - Alleluia!
In white, unto them they neared - Alleluia!
Said, Why stand you gazing? learn - Alleluia!
In clouds too Christ shall return - Alleluia!

Two men i white approached me once orchi
In a yellow van
Alleluia
Great write Thanks
Oh dear! Thanks Andrew lol. I didn't realise two men in white could be interpreted that way. Sort of: 'I used to think I was a werewolf, but I'm all right now-oooooo!' They were probably angels in human form of some sort.
Oh Dear... I think that van's just pulling up
It's okay I got my TV license

two men in white coats methinks..and on that note, .I note we have a job lot of ascending Alleluia's today ..... Neville
Thanks N. The Bible verses will be OK, unless someone comes along and translates them 'two men in white coats'. I bet someone ultra-modern does so, before long. Doh!
......................Alleluia 🙂

Is this done as a rap... if you haven't tried it as a rap, have a go. it really works.
Thanks DA. Nope, not jazzing it up! lol.
Alluluia by 7 stanzas by 4 lines each by 4 = 112 syllables. Were they expensive - did you get them from Miss Berles?
Thanks M. Yes, I needed extra ones too, for the Alleluias!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Here are three I contribute, that you don't have to pay for.
Thanks Suresh. lol.
Not in my vocabulary at the moment.
Thanks Gold - I understand.
