Tag Archives: Jesus’ Return

Maranatha ~

Soon the Lord will be coming,
at any time He could appear
and with Him those who believe
in the clouds will disappear.

Until such time we hear,
the trump that will sound
His return for us . . .
we must hold our ground.

For this world is becoming,
more and more of a place
where it’s harder for us
to stay in the faithful race.

For all around the globe,
no matter where you go . . .
being a Christian today
irks and irritates others so.

Soon the Lord will come,
in the clouds He will appear
so until then good works . . .
we still need to do while here!

~~~~~~~~

1 Thessalonians 4:17

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.

Revelation 22:12

And, behold, I come quickly;
and my reward is with me,
to give every man according
as his work shall be.

We Need An Awakening ~

We need an awakening,
from our spiritual sleep
we need a revival . . .
to gather in more sheep.

We need to wake-up,
those dead in sin
so lives for Jesus
we can go and win.

We need an arousing,
of hearts made of stone
so Jesus for their sins
can forgive and atone.

We need a new dawning,
of eyes that are blind
so the Light of Jesus
can heal their mind.

We need an awakening,
a spiritual revival
before Jesus’ . . .
next arrival!

Revelation 3:11

Behold, I come quickly:
hold that fast which thou hast,
that no man take thy crown.

CHRISTmas Wonderment ~

May you feel the wonder,
of God’s gift of a Savior
may His love and grace
you hold on to and savor.

May you feel the thrill,
of the hope of His birth
may your heart overflow
with joy, cheer and mirth.

May you feel the wonder,
of the coming of a King
may you trust and believe
in the peace He’s soon to bring.

May you feel the excitement,
of Him who was and is to come
may you be eager and ready
for Him to set up His kingdom.

May you feel the wonder,
of God’s blessed assurance
as you await the day . . .
of His next appearance!

If I Meet Jesus Today ~

If I meet Jesus today,
and my life here were to end
I would be so excited . . .
to meet my eternal Friend.

I would run up to Him,
and look into His loving face
I’d tell Him thank you for
His saving, amazing grace.

I’d drop down on my knees,
and worship my eternal King
I’d shout hallelujah . . .
as my praises to Him I sing.

I would leap and jump around,
with joy, happiness and glee
and thank Him for preparing
a room in heaven just for me.

If I were to meet Jesus today,
and I were to see my eternal Friend
I know that I would be in paradise
and my bliss would never end!

~~~~~~

John 14:2

 In my Father’s house are many
mansions: if it were not so,
I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.

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.

Keeping My Eyes Alert ~

I’m keeping my eyes,
set on Jesus’ coming
tis why this faith race
I keep on running.

For I want to be,
one of the first to see
Jesus in the clouds
coming for me.

I’m keeping my eyes,
watching for the signs
listening to the rumbles
of these the end times.

For I yearn to be,
with my Lord and Savior
and to be with Him
in the land of forever.

On Jesus’ next coming,
I’m keeping my eyes
for He is to me . . .
the real true prize!

~~~~~

Philippians 3:14

I press toward the mark
for the prize of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 4:17

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.

Mark 14:62


This Lowly Body ~

One day this lowly body,
will be transformed
no longer by sin effects
will it be deformed.

It will be like Jesus,
beautiful and glorious
it will rise with Him
jubilant and victorious.

One day this lowly body,
will be made whole
no longer will satan be
gunning for my soul.

I will have a new one,
when Jesus comes again
no longer this vile body
will I have to restrain.

One day this lowly body,
will be totally sin free . . .
when in the clouds
with Jesus I go to be!

~~~~~~~~

Philippians 3.21

Who shall change our vile body,
that it may be fashioned like
unto his glorious body,
according to the working
whereby he is able even to
subdue all things unto himself.

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.

Beam Me Up Lord ~

Beam me up Lord,
I am so ready to leave
there’s nothing here
onto which I cleave.

I’m willing to give up,
everything I own
so I may go with You . . .
to my eternal home.

I’m happy to vacate,
on earth my little space
so I can be with You
in a more peaceful place.

Take me to the room,
You’ve prepared for me
so with You in heaven . . .
I may forever be.

Beam me up Lord,
I’m so ready to depart
for, I no longer want . . .
in this world to be a part!

and remain shall be caught

Matthew 26:64


The Harvest Is Nearly Here ~

The seed has been planted,
for each nation to hear
the fields are now ready
harvest time is nearly here.

The season is turning ripe,
the time is drawing close
soon our Savior will come
but the hour no one knows.

The Word has gone out,
the desert rose is a bloom
in God’s heavenly mansion
there’s still plenty of room.

The showers have increased,
the outpouring is on the rise
the day Jesus comes will be
like a twinkling in our eyes.

The soil has been prepared,
the sacrifice has been made
time is running out
for lost souls to be swayed.

The message of hope continues,
it will to the very end . . .
still we don’t how much longer
the time God plans to extend!

~~~~~~~~~~

Revelation 14:15

And another angel came out
of the temple, crying with a
loud voice to him that sat on
the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle,
and reap: for the time is come
for thee to reap; for the harvest
of the earth is ripe.

Matthew 24:36

“But of that day and hour
knoweth no man,
no, not the angels
of heaven,
but my Father only.”

1 John 2:28


I Wait In Hope ~

I wait in hope,
wait for the day
when with Jesus
I’ll go away.

I wait in peace,
I’ll not tremble
for with the saints
I will assemble.

I wait in faith,
wait until I see
Jesus in the clouds
coming for me.

I wait in trust,
I’ll not be shaken
for Jesus will not
leave me forsaken.

I wait in hope,
peace, faith and trust
I wait for that day . . .
Jesus will summon us!

~~~~~~~~

in Christ shall rise first:

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.

Psalm 130:5-6


One Step Forward ~

Sometimes all I can put,
is just one foot forward . . .
for it is all I can do
to keep moving onward.

For I know that I need,
to be diligent and patient
though I am overwhelmed
by today’s environment.

Sometimes I just take,
one step at a time . . .
for it is all I can make
as I see evil on the climb.

For I know I must be,
willing to wait and see
so that fear’s fingers
can’t seize a hold on me.

Sometimes I don’t move,
instead, still I just stand
and say to myself . . .
this is all in God’s hand!

~~~~~~~~

2 Samuel 22:37

Thou hast enlarged
my steps under me;
so that my feet did not slip.

Psalm 37:7

Rest in the Lord, and wait
patiently for him: fret not
thyself because of him who
prospereth in his way, because
of the man who bringeth
wicked devices to pass.

Mark 14:62


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.

Luke 21:34-36

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.
