Laura Leiser Poet Terzanelle

The Second Coming

Trumpets from heaven's gates herald the hour
The terrible Day of The Lord has come
Living souls tremble, fearing Christ's power.

Lightning flashes, parting clouds for God's Son
Every knee bows, above and below Him
The terrible Day of The Lord has come.

His Voice calls out, like thunder in the wind
The Savior has come, the world to redeem
Every knee bows, above and below Him.

Believers rejoice, for Christ they now see
Man of Sorrows, King of kings on His throne
The Savior has come, the world to redeem.

Fear strikes the hearts of the unsaved's lost souls
As judgment is passed, for death or for life
Man of Sorrows, King of kings on His Throne.

Justice separates the wrong from the right
Trumpets from heaven's gates herald the hour
As judgment is passed, for death or for life
Living souls tremble, fearing Christ's power.

Robert Johnson June 21, 2015 at 10:15 PM While we fear the Lord's judgement, we pray for his mercy. Let us pray for every soul on this earth. Peace and Amen. Laura Leiser June 21, 2015 at 10:23 PM Yes, this is true, Robert. Thanks for commenting on my poem, and God bless.

Hannington Mumo June 14, 2015 at 3:59 PM A well-composed apocalyptic piece laced with practical reality - that the same Jesus who was taken into heaven will come back to earth in a like manner. 7+! Laura Leiser June 14, 2015 at 5:12 PM Thank you, Hannington. That is so true!

Skat A June 13, 2015 at 6:57 PM NICE Laura Leiser June 13, 2015 at 7:20 PM thanks, SKAT. It's my first attempt at a Terzenelle. It was challenging, to say the least!!

David Meade June 12, 2015 at 11:50 PM Mighty is his power of judgment but mightier still is his grace . . . wise is the one who reads and digests your words to life! Well done dear friend. Laura Leiser June 13, 2015 at 12:43 AM Thank you, David. God's judgment is never easy to address, and yet it will come someday. Yet, as we live, those who respond to His great grace will be saved! I wanted to write my first Terzenelle, and it seemed to work with a "weighty" subject.
