Asked if I am certain
Christ Jesus will return…
I become much more convinced
With each new day concern.
Has anyone not noticed
The shape this world is in?
Am I the only one to see
It wink its eyes at sin?
Not only has the government
Kicked Jesus in the pants…
But men who preach the gospel
Seem to grasp at every chance.
The pulpit, once a reverenced place,
Where Godly preachers stood
Is becoming just a sounding board
For a one world brotherhood.
Yes, we hear sermons but they all
Encourage us to merge
With other world religions and
There seems to be an urge
To discourage Christianity
In its pure and simple form…
For it’s been pointed out that it
Will cause our children harm.
Not everyone’s a Christian
Is the argument these days…
And we’re offending others
With our Ten Commandment ways.
So schools become a shooting zone
But that’s the new routine…
For teaching kids “Thou shalt not kill”
Is politically obscene.
World News will show the Middle East
In its usual upheaval…
The hate and envy doesn’t cease
And the skies explode with evil.
The first blood moon is due this year…
Is this a sign for certain?
Will the sky split open like a scroll
As God rolls back the curtain?
I don’t have all the answers…
But this one thing I know…
Jesus Christ will soon return….
Because my Bible tells me so.
The Jordan River’s ready…
It’s shores are strewn with clover…
It’s time for making plans to leave…
It’s time for crossing over.

Joshua 3:17
The priests who carried the ark of the covenant
of the Lord stopped in the middle of the Jordan
and stood on dry ground, while all Israel passed
by until the whole nation had completed the
crossing on dry ground.
Hebrews 13:6
"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid."
1 John 5:11
- And this is the record, that God hath given
to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
