I have been waiting for 42 years now for Jesus
Christ to come for His church. It seems like a
long time but, to Him, it is a few minutes but,
I truly believe He is coming so soon.
We need to be ready for a trumpet will
sound now any time!
Preparations For The Trip
Many preparations for the trip of a lifetime
are all at present like a whirlwind within my head
excitement of seeing loved ones we’d not seen in years
for on this side they have for a long time been dead.
Surely daddy will be there to meet us when we step down
from that long sleek bird
and momma and Kenneth and Orville to and the
babies I was not able to bring to a live birth.
Reunions galore, shouts of laughter
and picnics to
oh such joy there will be honey
that’s awaiting me and you.
Yet before this trip
we still have much work to do
talking and praying for others
that they too might make reservations with Him and get through.
Suddenly a voice from the cockpit says
presently we are passing by the Milky Way on the left side of the plane
there is Mars and Jupiter and now Heaven
comes into sight as millions of miles we have gained.
Funny though, there will be no bags to pack
for this glorious celestial flight
as the only things we can bring with us
will be the souls we’ve won with a hard and prayerful fight.
So now, all aboard you passengers
just keep your eyes on Him
and walk on in forgiveness and love
and abstain from this wicked world’s sin.
