Jesus Is Coming, Maybe Now

This is a day and age of scepticism
the things of former years are denied
God's holy book is given no notice
it's laughed to scorn never be applied

But there's a day coming upon earth
when everybody's number will be up
the one who made us will say 'the end'
no second chances, look at your cup

Have you received your cup of salvation?
which God gives to all who believe
be sure your anchor is in Christ
for if not without you, He will leave

Are you ready to meet the saviour?
looking forward to that glorious day
will you be ashamed to see His face?
or have you followed His Calvary way

Jesus is coming, maybe now!
when on earth He told it so
that one day Christ would return
for His own whose hearts will bow

(This is written about what if Jesus came back today.
Would you be prepared to meet your maker with a loving and bold heart?
Or would you cower and ask forgiveness one more time?
Or would you deny Him forever?).

I love God and Jesus, but I do talk more to God. but when I see the film of the Passion, I cry from beginning to end. As Greek Orthodox, (just like the Catholics), the Virgin Mary also plays a bit part in our religion. A wonderful poem, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Thanks Jenny, Glad you loved it and thought it wonderful piece. I've never seen the passion but would you advise the movie to be watched? Regarding the Virgin Mary as a Bible-believing protestant, I probably have to disagree on the part of Jesus mother as the Roman Catholics believe but well we just agree to disagree. Take care and God bless, Gordon
