ARE YOU READY FOR THE RAPTURE?
CAN YOU IMAGINE JUST FLYING AWAY?
WOULD YOU BE “AT HOME” IN HEAVEN?
IF THE TRUMPET SOUNDED TODAY?
WHEN THAT EASTERN SKY SPLITS OPEN,
AND THE GLORY OF HEAVEN COMES DOWN…
WILL HE FIND YOU WATCHING AND WAITING?
OR WILL HE FIND YOU OUT ON THE TOWN?
YOU SAID A LITTLE PRAYER A LONG TIME AGO,
AND YOU "HOPE" YOUR SALVATION’S SECURE…
BUT DID YOU BECOME A NEW CREATION?
HAS YOUR HEART BEEN CLEANSED, FOR SURE?
IF YOU CAN’T EVEN GO TO THE LORD’S HOUSE,
TO WORSHIP AND GIVE THANKS FOR HIS LOVE…
IF YOU DON’T READ HIS WORD AND PRAY DAILY,
THEN YOU WON’T BE “AT HOME” UP ABOVE….
FOR IN HEAVEN WE’LL PRAISE HIM FOREVER,
AND WE’LL NEVER BE SAD OR ALONE….
WE’LL REJOICE IN OUR LIFE EVERLASTING, AND
GIVE WORSHIP TO THE KING ON HIS THRONE.
SO WHEN JESUS COMES BACK FOR HIS CHILDREN,
WILL HE FIND YOU IN THE WORLD FULL OF CARE?
IF YOU CAN’T BE FAITHFUL WHILE ON THIS EARTH,
THEN YOU WON’T BE “AT HOME” UP THERE…..

This reminded me of an old gospel hymn. Good job!
I agree about the caps, but overall, good job with this poem. Thanks for sharing.
Keep up the great writing, I really really loved this.
