So Near

There will be nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
When the Lord God above returns
To fight for His side

He will give everyone
The opportunity to know His name
What you do with the knowledge of Him
Is your decision just the same

Please take heed dear ones
Regarding the choices you make
So when it’s time to meet your Maker
For you… it won’t be too late

To call on The Lord God of Israel
The Father of Abraham
The omniscient master over all the earth
The Great I Am

To provide shelter from His wrath
Hide you up under His wing
For He comes again to destroy all those
Who mocked and never believed

In His Son, Jesus The Christ
Who died for our sins
In His Word, The Bible
And that He is coming again

To take us captive in His train
Shielding us from the storm
Don’t get left behind
No! Be forewarned

He is The God of Love and Peace
To those who call on His name
A mighty warrior to the death
Of those who will NOT proclaim

Of His Power, His omnipotence
His indescribable gift
Of allowing His Son to take the blame
For all the loathsome things we did

Yet, this faith is simple, it’s easy
Like the faith of a child
A yearning of expectation
A hopeful trust and desire

To live a life that is pleasing to
The God of Peace and Light
Who promised to come back and rescue
Every single life

That doesn’t fall prey to disbelief
Discouragement, hopelessness and fear
For the promise of The Promised Land
Has never been so near

  1. In my young years I seem to have horrible fear regarding His second coming….now it is so
    reassuring…Just one more of those things I was so slow in achieving.
