Is This Not The Hour?



Is This Not The Hour?

Is this not the hour
Of which we've always heard;
The beginning of the sorrows
Foretold in God's own Word?
 
Is this not the hour
For the sounding of the trump?
Are these not the birth pangs
Not the usual trials and bumps?
 
Are not the signs converging,
 Increased in intensity?
Distress among the nations
With great perplexity?
 
Signs in the sun, the moon and stars
Violence throughout the earth:
Jerusalem now a burdensome stone
Soon after Israel's birth?
 
Famines, plague's and earthquakes
And these are not a few:
False teachers and false prophets
Lead the undiscerned askew.
 
Is this not the day and time
To make it right with God
To get your sins forgiven
 Be washed in Christ's own Blood?
 
Is this not the hour
To be absolutely sure
You have reserved a home in heaven
Where your soul will be secure?

 
2 Corinthians 6:2
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
 
Hosea 10:12
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
