IS HE COMING?
by Curtis Dean
Is He coming? Does it matter if Christ is coming very soon?
Can’t I just go on with living and maybe whistle a happy tune?
Why should I even be conscious of some event, we know not when,
For days, and months, and years roll by; just as it’s always been!
For there’s my work and family, all require a lot of time,
Why should I be so worried, is this problem really mine?
For life is filled with other things, why should I be concerned,
When it seems the date of His return can’t really be confirmed?
But then one day the words hit home, the words that our Lord spoke,
They hit so hard down deep inside, my stubborn will He broke;
Jesus said, not even the angels, know the day or know the time,
“Watch ye therefore”, He commanded, and our light we must let shine.
So there’s more to earthly living, more involved than some may know,
And to those who live around us, the love of Christ we need to show.
Yes, His coming is much nearer, closer than we might surmise.
And we must be ever ready, lest it catch us by surprise.
“Watch ye therefore,” let us do it as we go about our tasks,
For we know that all the earthly things will not forever last;
But this we know for certain, that He’s coming very soon,
Just when we really know not, be it morning, night or noon.
Yes, He’s coming, for He promised, His return is drawing nigh,
So while the Spirit’s moving, do not let Him pass you by;
Open up your heart to Jesus, let the doubts just flee away.
For the Lord Himself is waiting in your life to have full sway.
You will never, e’er regret it, it’s a decision you must make,
Just come to Him believing, trusting Him is all it takes;
Let the love of Christ possess you, let Him fully take control,
Then you’ll have the sweet assurance: all is well within your soul!
