The Lifespan of Earth As a Day
DAWN CAME AND THERE WAS LIGHT
A BLAZING FIRMAMENT OF GLORIOUS RAYS
AND ANGELS SANG A HEAVENLY CHORUS
AS MAN FIRST WALKED THE EARTHLY PATH
BY THE NOON-THE SKY WAS CAST
STRANGE GRAY CLOUDS IN HEAVENS' SEA
THE ANGELS SANG IN SAD LOW TONES AS MANS EGO LED HIM ASTRAY
NOW THE EVENING-THE SKY IS SO DIM
NOT EVEN A RAY TO BLESS A SOUL
AND ANGELS LOOK IN BEWILDERMENT
AS MAN STRIVE TO DESTROY HIMSELF
IN THE NIGHT- WILL LIGHTNING STRIKE
WILL THUNDER ROAR-WILL GOD SPEAK
WILL ANGELS WAIL IN ASH STREWN ROBES
AT ALL MANKINDS IMPENDING DOOM
OR WILL THE ALMIGHTY IN HIS MERCY
ALLOW US THE THE GRACE OF A SECOND CHANCE
