Rapturous Return

orchidee



Tune: Veni Emmanuel

('O come, O come, Emmanuel')

Luke 21 v.25-28

**********

 

Jesus taught of His second coming

What signs and wonders it would bring

Signs in the sun, and stars, and moon

In God's timing it shall be soon

Prepare, prepare, and be ready

Welcome His return and Him see

 

And upon earth nations distressed

With perplexity, not at rest

Sea and waves roaring, unsettled

Though God's plans they shall not be stalled

You who have laboured long and toiled

End-time events shall not be foiled

 

And people's hearts failing them for

Fear, and for expectation sure

Of those things which to earth shall come

Before the Lord take His people home

Powers of heaven shall be shaken

When He appears before all men

 

They all shall see Him, Son of man

Come in a cloud, to dight no ban

With power and great glory, so

Unmistakeable, all show know

When these things begin to pass, your

Redemption draws near evermore

      Good one Orchi but as you know I don't believe it as it is the farce of organised religion.

        You should have refrained & been more restrained ..

          Thanks N. My refraining went out of the window.
          Fido's become alliterative too - he says 'Ruff Ruff' (all the R's) - or even 'Woof, Woof' (all the W's). The men in white coats will be here for me soon!
