Topic: Endless (01/09/14)
A cry was heard that pierced the heavens
Hope and faith danced for glee
Promise and purpose rejoice in their fulfillment
As heaven eagerly awaited the return of its Son

All of nature responded to the moment
The earth shook and the mountains trembled
The winds howled in fury
The rain beat down upon the bloody ground

The temple foundation rocked
And that which held man
From seeing the face of God
Was rent in two from top to bottom

Redemption burst forth from its confines
As it heard the sound of the cry
Which held it captive for so long
"IT IS FINISHED"

These words shall resound within the souls of man
Echoing throughout time until the day
It is joined by the sound of 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

Then those precious words shall fade away
To be replaced by the heavenly choir
And the angels singing, “Amen and Halleluiah”
And these words shall never cease

Quite beautifully done. I had a great mental image with the line where hope danced with glee. That was just perfect.

Great job and thanks for sharing!

You did a lovely job of speaking the truth with this poem. Your words are strung together in a powerful way which screama that the Spirit is inside you and using your words to reach others. God bless.
