All men of Earth are sinners Right down to our last breath Even though we know the Bible says The wages of sin are death! God sighed sadly, saying, "And I love each one so..." Jesus said, "Father, they needn't die, Let Me pay the debt they owe.." Then He came to walk among us So mankind would live and learn He was crucified for all our sins And He promised He'd return Now two thousand years have passed Some say He never could... But those of faith know that He will Simply 'cause He said He would And everyone wonders exactly how The Lord's return will be... Majestically floating on silver clouds Flanked by angels for all to see? Another question asked is where A cathedral in the Holy Land? Or near a street corner barrel fire, Where a beggar warms his hands? And when will His return take place? Today's world's so full of hate That judging by why the Bible says We shouldn't have long to wait... And who will He choose to be this time? Somebody we recognize? A talented preacher? A diplomat? Someone worldly and very wise? Or will He choose a humbler face? We still have lots of those... He could return as a homeless man With torn and tattered clothes... A junkie? Cop? A minister? A teacher or an attorney? He has a world of roles to choose from For His second earthly journey! But who or how or where or when The Lord plans His arrival You can count on this one thing It affects your soul's survival! So if you feel you're unprepared Ask God where you should start... He's been awaiting an invitation To reach down and touch your heart! And to those who still are not convinced I hope they're not afraid to die... Jesus taught and suffered and rose again, But what He didn't do is LIE... He clearly said He would return That's why we're waiting still We believe that He'll be back Simply cause He said He will!!
