The skies are grey right now
And beyond the grey is blue
With puffy white clouds
That look like heaven
as the sun is shining
the clouds are reflecting its light
A picture of heaven
We imagine your throne up there
sitting on one of the stronger clouds
And gates that open wide
to those of us who have chosen your ways
When will you return Lord Jesus?
To take us from this wretched place?
There are moments of beauty here
and love and kindness and fulfillment
but they do not compare to what it will be like when You appear
to be in your presence forevermore
Not everyone will be glad to see you I’m sorry to say
some will be trying to hide from your presence
Those of us who know you, who have already chosen you
who have chosen to live with you on earth will be more than glad and with your promise fulfilled will meet you
This seems so unreal, can it really happen?
Will it really be?
You will be as the lightning comes from the east
and shines to the west
Every eye will see you, even they who have pierced you
Just like an answered prayer,
a promise fulfilled
that you have completed
over and over again in different circumstances
building our faith
You ask, When the Son of Man returns,
will He find faith on the earth?
Yes, Lord, You will. You will find faith on the earth
and you will embrace the faithful and leave behind the faithless
Those of us who have chosen You and detested the world will be in your presence forevermore
