Hello everyone! Julie asked me to post this poem written by her friend David Rogers. Enjoy!
Upon the barrens of a once fresh world
The concerns of God and man unfurled
To reveal at once and then over again
The forms of sin that e’er plague men
As trumpets blare and hearts do strain
To fathom then deliverance or pain
Of a world to change in the blink of an eye
From fair blue pleasures to burning sky
And angels in concourse swiftly descend
To save the chosen from bitter end
As nature chimes in terrible voice
To reward mankind for foolish choice
Thus Heaven’s call will one day sound
Announcing judgment the world around
And those whose sight has grown so dull
Will find their cups of wrath run full
Though rains of mercy yet will fall
To cleanse the souls that heed the call
Of angel whispers in soul and ear
Thus tribulation they need not fear
For feet that stand in holy places
With purer hearts and upturned faces
To hear the Word the Lord doth give
Will yet rejoice and in faith live
The clash of eons comes to a head
Where truth survives and deceit fails dead
And paths of error are made true straight
As redemption no longer deigns to wait
And soon the skies alight with power
Receive the Christ in that final hour
While voices in chorus are heard to say
Oh bring, oh bring the perfect day
As the Gods look down to see the end
Of time and error by the mend
To deem the work as truthful good
Thus life begins as it one day should
