The Great Return

THE GREAT RETURN Once there was a man in Eden Who saw and walked and talked with God And once there was a day in Eden When man fell and left the garden Not just that, but the place of fellowship. God saw man was now in sin And so separated him from eternal life He sent him out into the world And sent him the law so he would be conscious Of his fate and his grievous end. But out of love God became man And saw and walked and talked with men And died so painfully to redeem all men The murderers, liars and those lost in lust To prepare them for the great return. Bear in mind that this life is short It is just a short period to be prepared For one day we will all leave this world And whether or not we end with Him Depends on how prepared we are for Him. So even as God would say I pray you do as Jesus did To think and speak and do the will Of Him who would judge where you forever will be On that day of the great return.
