And the trees of the fields will clap their hands
at the return of the Son of Man
Like a lightning flash he'll split the sky
and gather us up in the blink of an eye.
The angel will sound the trumpet blast
as we go home at last.
It will be
the most shocking event in history,.
The newscasts will report in amazement
"It's the opposite of an alien invasion"
"Mass numbers of people fleeing the planet"
"What does it mean? I don't understand it!"
They'll spout conjectures and theories by the ton -
"Aliens have kidnapped the chosen ones"
Some will speak of the "Christian rapture"
and many will then cry out to the Master -
but like Noah's ark it will be too late.
Like those on the outside they'll have sealed their fate,
though on the ark they kept pounding and pounding.
The last generation's fate will be much worse than drowning.
The hospitals and jails will run out of room,
as the last generation faces their doom.
The wicked will cry out to God - "it's not fair",
only to find he's turned a deaf ear.
They'll curse him and blame him,
they'll become incensed,
but through it all they will not repent.
They'll weep and they'll wail
and their hearts will fail.
They'll gnash their teeth
but find no relief.
When they stand before the Judgment seat
where the Judge of souls sits,
no accusations will then escape their lips.
They'll know in that moment they've chosen the wrong path
as they come face to face with their God and his wrath.
If you want mercy in that time and place
then at this time and place do not hesitate
to surrender your heart to Him and his will
that you may now in your lifetime fulfill
all his desires and plans for your life.
Now when you meet Him then
it won't be the first time.
He's well aware of all that's inside
so from him don't try to hide
(there's no fig leaf big enough, anyway!)
but come to Him now while you still have time,
while you still can breathe
while you still can cry.....
fall on your face
let mercy and grace
take you all the way home to the place
he's prepared by his love
for the whole human race.
