Waiting ~

Lord, You have given me,
these mighty eagles wings
said they’d give me strength
in the problems life brings.

You said for me to wait,
for Your Son to return
until such time to give
You all of my concern.

You said there would be,
no weariness or fatigue
to wait until the day
the crown of life I’ll receive.

You said I would walk,
without ever fainting
to focus on the future hope
You have for me awaiting.

Lord, You have given me,
these powerful eagle wings
and so I patiently wait . . .
for the newness of all things!

~~~~~~~

Isaiah 40.31

“But they that wait
upon the Lord shall
renew their strength;
they shall mount up
with wings as eagles;
they shall run,
and not be weary;
and they shall walk,
and not faint.”

Everything New ~

Everything new,
everything perfect
sin no longer
our lives to affect.

Everything peaceful,
everything calm
now that Jesus’ blood
is salvation’s balm.

Everything joyful,
everything painless
in a twinkling we’ll stand
before God blameless.

Everything pristine,
everything ideal
at the trumpet sound
all will be surreal.

Everything perfect.
everything new
when Jesus comes
for me and you!

~~~~~~~

1 Corinthians 15.51-52

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
imperishable, and we
shall be changed.”

Closer Everyday ~

As I witness,
the sun slowly set
I feel so blessed
my Savior to have met.

For, its beauty reveals,
the glory I will see
the day Jesus returns
in the clouds for me.

As the sun unfolds,
its nightly display
the hope I’ve found
its splendor relays.

Though it signals,
the end to another day
eternal joy . . .
it brings closer my way.

As I sit here watching,
the setting of the sun
I feel so blessed
to have found the Son!

~~~~~~~~~

Matthew 24:30

“And then shall appear the sign
of the Son of man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes
of the earth mourn, and they
shall see the Son of man coming
in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory.”

Something Out of Nothing ~

God created,
something out of nothing
He brought perfect order
to everything.

Then man came along,
and created chaos
now one day with God
there will be a face off.

God is going to judge,
man for his sin
He’ll wage a war against
the evilness within.

Floodwaters will come,
earthquakes and fire
only those who are saved
won’t be in the crossfire.

Then there will be,
a new glorious rebirth
as God ushers in
a new heaven and earth.

God created,
something out of nothing
and someday to the chaos
perfect peace, Jesus will bring!

~~~~~~~~~

Isaiah 65:17

” For, behold,
I create new heavens
and a new earth:
and the former shall not
be remembered,
nor come into mind.”

I’ve Got This Inkling ~

Oh, Lord I’m waiting,
for that glorious day
when You will return
to take our pain away.

I am anticipating,
that trumpet blowing
to see no more tears
from our eyes flowing.

Oh, Lord I’m ready,
for no more sorrow
I am anxious to see
our new tomorrow.

of the former things
that were never lasting.

Oh, Lord I am waiting,

that very soon . . .
I’ll see that twinkling!

~ Hurry Jesus ~

One Day Soon ~

One day with the Lord,
we will forever be . . .
one day our tears
we’ll never again see.

One day death,
God will banish
one day our grief
will but, vanish.

One day sadness,
joy will replace
one day our cries
mercy will erase.

One day our pain,
will no longer dismay
one day the old things
will just pass away.

One day soon Lord,
all will be made new
when on the day . .
we come home to You!

Behold, I make all things new.
And he said unto me, Write: for these
words are true and faithful.”

Can You Imagine ~

Can you imagine,
a world without tears
void of the darkness
that fuels human fears?

Can you imagine,
a world without sorrow
empty of the anguished
heartache of tomorrow?

Can you imagine,
a world without evil
gone the trepidation
from terror’s upheaval?

Can you imagine,
a world without hate
free from animosity
the need to retaliate?

Can you imagine,
a world without fears
can you imagine the day . . .
God wipes away all tears?

In Quiet Hope ~

My soul waits for the Lord,
in quiet hope, I wait . . .
for what can I do alone
so for Him, I will wait.

No need to get restless,
caught up in my fears
in quiet hope, I wait . . .
until my Jesus appears.

As problems pile up,
adding to my care
in quiet hope, I wait . . .
as I go to Him in prayer.

At this very moment,
in my soul’s hungry need
in quiet hope, I wait . . .
to His will, I shall heed.

My soul waits for the Lord,
in quiet hope, I wait . . .
I know He’ll come again
so til then, I’ll not faint!

~~~~~~~~~~

Psalm 27:13-14

“I had fainted, unless I had believed to see
the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall
strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.”

Perhaps Today ~

Perhaps today . . .
my Lord will come
perhaps today I’ll see
my Lord on the cloud
coming down for me.

Perhaps today . . .
my Lord will call
perhaps today I’ll hear
the sound of His trumpet
telling me He is here.

Perhaps today . . .
my Lord will show
perhaps today I’ll meet
my Savior up in the air
oh, wouldn’t that be sweet.

Perhaps today . . .
my Lord will come
perhaps today I’ll be
with Him forever
in blissful eternity!
