IN THAT DAY

I have always loved the verses in the Old Testament – especially in Isaiah that start with, 'In that day....'. I believe 'in that day' refers to the time when Jesus will return to earth to rule and reign. I made a list of some of the exciting things that will happen 'in that day' and I believe it is coming soon.  It will be glorious.

SING A NEW SONG

A new song is sung all the time

At every moment and second it chimes

Hosanna!  Hosanna! the waves ring

A mighty cheer to Jesus they bring

Never a dull moment in heaven above

Like worker bees His children blaze with love

Creating, enjoying, exploring and doing His work

All to His glory; all to His praise

Loud songs of triumph they raise

Preparing for the time that He will ascend

Back down to earth to reign supreme

From Jerusalem He will be the whole world's KING

Thousands will hold His train when He comes down

All will serve Him making a joyful sound

"Family" - He calls us, "Dear brothers, sisters and kids

You are in Me and I in you."

Hasten the day!

Prepare your hearts

The King is coming and He'll never depart
