Rapturous Flight
By George Thurlow
I have always held a fondness
For winged and feathered creatures,
And deep down a twinge of envy
Of their unique and special features.
I often watched with wonder
At soaring hawks on high...
How I wish I too
Had the ability to fly.
Then I met the Savior,
The Creator of all things,
And I received a promise
That I too will take to wings.
At the sounding of the trumpet,
In the twinkling of an eye,
I\'ll be soaring through the heavens
And I'll finally get to fly!
"For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ
shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we
ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort
one another with these words. "
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
"In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump: for the trumpet
shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed. "
1 Corinthians 15:52
