Sign of the Times

S olemn strikes the hour of society’s discontent I see angry fists rise up with shouting and protests G hastily grave disasters, ISIS terrors mark headlines N ation against nation, shootings and high crimes. O nly the naive live in blindness to it all F uture fears and worries, will mankind finally fall? T he Apocalypsis scenario plays often in my mind H arrowing events will come to usher in End Times E ver watching, God above is Sovereign, not surprised. T o look ahead and see, from this world to the next I see increasing chaos, until God fulfills His quest M arvelous will be the day when Christ returns again Every knee will bow, He’ll reign and judge the deeds of man S in and suffering will cease, peace and life will never end.
