NEW POEM THIS MORNING
We sing the chorus at Faith Lighthouse “I’m longing for Jesus to Come Back”. That song and yearning for Christ’s appearing is on my heart so strongly this morning. The Holy Ghost blessed me with the words for another poem as I sit here at the shore in thick fog with distant thundering. Sharing it with you below:
COMING IN CLOUDS OF GLORY
By George Thurlow
August 30, 2023
Christ’s coming in clouds of glory
In the same manner He went away;
Are you watching for Him?
Are you yearning for that day?
Are you steadfast in the faith since saved?
Do you fast and pray and tell,
The Good News of the Gospel
That will save a soul from hell?
Are you striving to be ready,
Keeping your garments white…
Forsaking earthly pleasures
Diligent for what’s right?
Do you occupy intently
And refrain from idleness?
Are you seeking first the Kingdom
And all God’s righteousness?
Christ’s coming in clouds of glory
Are you listening for the shout
And the sounding of the trumpet
That will call Believers out!

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
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.
