Poetry

---

Do not overlook this one fact,
Would be like a thousand years;
With the Lord whom you interact,
As if only one day appears.

The Lord is not slow to fulfill,
A slackness about His promise;
Be patient for you to instill,
Repentance before His justice.

He does not wish you to perish,
When He comes like a thief at night;
Each one of us He does cherish,
Because to Him as a delight.

For the Heavens will pass away,
The heavenly bodies will burn;
The earth and all works will decay,
That is prior to His return.

Since these things are to be dissolved,
Who is living in holiness;
As His chosen will be evolved,
Holy transformed to godliness.

Wait for and hasten for that day,
Upon the coming of the Lord;
When the holy will all obey,
And in being in one accord.

Heaven and earth set on fire,
Heavenly bodies burn and melt;
The fading of the heart’s desire,
Disappearing where one once dwelt.

Wait for the new Heaven and earth,
In which all righteousness will dwell;
As holiness will give new birth,
And all blaspheme God will dispel.
