The Sound of His Coming

VERSE 1
I can hear the sound of His coming everywhere
In the headlines resounding by the score
It may be another earthquake or just another war
But to every child of God it's something more
And when I hear the sound of marching
Hear the song of battle cry
Then I know my Lord is coming
Even now it may be nigh

CHORUS
And I can hear the sound of His coming everywhere
They're getting louder and louder each day
And they'll crescendo until that great and final sound
When the trumpet shall call me away

VERSE 2
I can hear the sound of fig leaves
Rustling in the summer breeze
As I see the Lord restore Jerusalem
And I can hear a sound from heaven
As a rushing mighty wind
As God pours His spirit out upon all men
And when I hear revival sounds
Not just here but everywhere
Then I know it's almost over
I can feel it in the air

CHORUS
And I can hear the sound of His coming everywhere
They're getting louder and louder each day
And they'll crescendo until that great and final sound
When the trumpet shall call me away

TAG
And they'll crescendo until that great and final sound
When the trumpet shall call me away

Yesterday our services were geared to Going Home to Heaven... I love my church and pastor and just praising God... I want to be praising Him the very moment He comes for His bride. Today, I was feeling tired and trying to remember to be thankful, and along comes this old song on the radio that I haven't heard since I was up north. I just had to make sure I shared it.
I am still expecting.... are you???

Are you Expecting?

Reading my devotions this morning, keeping track of the latest news in the Middle East, and meditating on our Pastor's current message theme of the Rapture has me in a spirit of expectation. We focus so much on being watchful and ready for when the Lord shall come. It truly is exciting, but this morning in my devotions I realized that Christ is so excited about this too! We are HIS Bride!!! He can't wait for us to come be with Him either!!!! It doesn't stop there with the Rapture though. He is expecting the time when He will be King of all the earth and the devil will be in his eternal torment.

Hebrews 10:12 "But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.




Are you expecting His return??? HE IS!!!!

Not Just Another Manic Monday

Friday started off a series of good days for me. Today is Monday on the calendar, but it was a very productive uneventful day for once. Justin has a fire started in the fireplace, and I finished a book and am thinking about a cup of coffee. God knew that I needed to have a few peaceful days to counteract the stressed feeling I was carrying around with me lately.
"Ain't God good to give us so many blessings,
Undeserving, that's what we are.
We ought to thank Him, love and praise Him,
A little more today, and a whole lot more tomorrow."
