Ready, Sober And Alert ~
This year I am going to be,
ready, sober and alert . . .
I’m not going to let anything
my trust in God to divert.
I will be ever watchful,
by keeping both my eyes
for Jesus in the clouds
descending in the skies.
This year I’m going to pray,
for the strength to escape
those who are trying to . . .
my faith in God reshape.
My ears will be listening,
for that trump to sound
so in the air with Jesus
I too will be found.
This year I’m going to be,
mindful of satan’s snare
so until Jesus comes . . .
I’ll remain alert and aware!
~~~~~~~~
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For the Lord himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout, with the
voice of the archangel, and with the
trump of God: and the dead in
Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them
in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
And take heed to yourselves,
lest at any time your hearts be
overcharged with surfeiting,
and drunkenness, and cares
of this life, and so that day
come upon you unawares.
For as a snare shall it come on
all them that dwell on the face
of the whole earth.
Watch ye therefore, and pray
always, that ye may be accounted
worthy to escape all these things
that shall come to pass, and to
stand before the Son of man.

In Every Season ~
In every season,
we need to pray
for we do not know
the hour or the day.
We must be watchful,
keep our eyes steady
on the signs of the time
so we will be ready.
In every season,
we need to be praying
for we cannot tell
the time remaining.
We must be sober,
throughout the year
for Jesus at anytime
could suddenly appear.
In every season,
all day and all night
we must always pray
with all of our might!
~~~~~~~~
Watch ye therefore,
and pray always, that
ye may be accounted
worthy to escape all
these things that shall
come to pass, and to
stand before the
Son of man.
Pray without ceasing.

I Thirst And I Hunger ~
I thirst for love,
righteous and pure
for I know it is . . .
the world’s only cure.
I hunger for hope,
pristine and flawless
for I know it is . . .
eternally seamless.
I pant for God’s peace,
perfect and ideal
for I know it is . . .
the real deal.
I long for Jesus,
to come again
so He can finish
what He began.
I thirst, I hunger,
I pant and I long
for it’s the only way . . .
I can remain strong!
~~~~~~~~
Blessed are they which do
hunger and thirst after
righteousness: for they
shall be filled.

Spiritual Sight ~
Spiritual sight,
has its very own eye
it sees Jesus returning
on clouds in the sky.
It sees the peace,
of a kingdom coming
it can see His glory
over the earth flooding.
Spiritual sight,
has its own insight
it can envision
everlasting delight.
It sees the future,
beyond that of today
it knows to heaven
there’s only One Doorway.
Spiritual eyes,
have their own sight . . .
they can see everything
through Jesus’ saving Light!
~~~~~~~~
And then shall they see
the Son of man coming
in the clouds with great
power and glory.

I’ve Got God’s Strength ~
I’ve got God’s strength,
it makes me strong
I trust it to keep me
sturdy all the day long.
When troubles I meet,
I face them head on
for I have the power
of His begotten Son.
I’ve got God’s might,
it makes me robust
it’s helps me each day
my life to Him entrust.
When worry I face,
I just keep hanging on
for I have the fortitude
of His resurrected Son.
I’ve got God’s strength,
each day it gets stronger . . .
it keeps my eyes on His Son
in case, He tarries longer!
~~~~~~~~
Finally, my brethren,
be strong in the Lord,
and in the power
of his might.

My Future Home ~
I like interactions,
about my future life
not about this one . . .
full of daily strife.
For up in heaven,
is where I long to be
so that I can at last
Jesus finally see.
I like to converse,
about life eternal
not about this one
full of upheaval.
For I look forward,
to that glorious day
when in the clouds
Jesus takes me away.
I like discussions,
about my future home
for it’s where my mind . . .
often drifts and roams!
~~~~~~~~
For our conversation is in heaven;
from whence also we look for the
Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

It Is You Lord ~
Lord, it is You who keeps,
my lamp burning . . .
it is for Your guidance
my heart stays yearning.
It is You who gives,
me hope and trust
it is in Your Word
my soul stays trussed.
Lord, it is You who keeps,
my faith steady
it is for Your return
my mind stays ready.
It is Your eternal love,
I keep my eyes on
it is Your Way and Life
to which I am drawn.
Lord, It is You who keeps,
my life full of Light
it is for You I will win
the good and faithful fight!
~~~~~~~~
The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of light.

Will Your Faith Remain ~
Will your faith remain,
or will it be shaken
will it be asleep
or in Jesus awaken?
Will your trust stay,
on the vine abiding
or will it be found
on it to be dying?
Will your hope be,
eternal and everlasting
or will it be without
truth and understanding?
Will your belief hold,
or will it be moved
will the Word of God
still need to be proved?
Will your faith remain,
or will it be upended
will it be on Jesus . . .
your salvation is depended?
~~~~~~~~
Whose voice then shook the earth:
but now he hath promised, saying,
Yet once more I shake not the
earth only, but also heaven.
And this word, Yet once more, signifieth
the removing of those things that are
shaken, as of things that are made,
that those things which cannot be
shaken may remain.

Everyday It Gets Closer ~
Everyday that passes,
we are getting closer
and we need to wake up
all those who are dozers.
For the return of the Lord,
is drawing nearer . . .
with the passing of time
it’s become ever clearer.
Each hour that ticks by,
is just a minute sooner
when Jesus will come back
to be the world’s ruler.
We need to alert those,
who are still sleeping
of the teeth gnashing
in the place of weeping.
Everyday that passes,
every hour that ticks by . . .
brings us closer to seeing
Jesus coming back in the sky!
~~~~~~~~
And that, knowing the time,
that now it is high time to
awake out of sleep:
for now is our salvation nearer
than when we believed.
And cast ye the unprofitable
servant into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.

Rejoicing In Tribulation ~
When I’m knee deep,
in pain and suffering . . .
it’s in my future hope
for which I’m rejoicing.
For the glory to be had,
in today’s tribulation
will come on the day
of my own resurrection.
When I’m waist high,
in my cares and concerns
it’s with patience I wait
until Jesus returns.
For I stand in the faith,
of His future coming . . .
even through my troubles
are always incoming.
When trials I experience,
when tribulation I have to face
I can do so with rejoicing . . .
because of His saving grace!
~~~~~~~~
And not only so, but we glory
in tribulations also:
knowing that tribulation
worketh patience;
And patience, experience;
and experience, hope:

Till Then I Must Endure ~
I don’t know the hour,
but I know for sure
Jesus will return . . .
till then I must endure.
For many will depart,
from the Life, Truth and Way
but on the narrow path . . .
I’m dedicating myself to stay.
I don’t know the moment,
nor does anyone . . .
only God knows the day
He will send back His Son.
So I need to be ready,
watchful, sober and alert
my eyes mustn’t ever
on Jesus turn or avert.
I don’t know when,
but I know it will be . . .
like a twinkling in my eye
when Jesus comes for me!
~~~~~~~~
But of that day and that hour
knoweth no man, no, not the
angels which are in heaven,
neither the Son, but the Father.

Oh, Blessed Hope ~
Oh, blessed hope,
drench my soul
in these days . . .
of great turmoil.
Let me see,
Thy glory coming
oh, blessed hope
my heart keep flooding.
Oh, blessed hope,
I pray fervently
in these times
of great uncertainty.
Let me hear,
the trump sounding
oh, blessed hope
heaven bounding.
Oh, blessed hope,
until You appear . . .
bring more hope
to those who fear!
~~~~~~~~
Looking for that blessed hope,
and the glorious appearing of
the great God and our
Saviour Jesus Christ;

The Reason for My Hope
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter 3:15

I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.I will not be shaken,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!~~~~~~~

from him cometh my salvation.

he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
