Expectation
by Barbara Philbrook

I have great expectation that Jesus will be here one day soon,
we know not whether he'll  arrive in the morning, evening or noon.

We know only that the event will occur just as the Bible said it would,
you'd think everyone would be elated and be ready as they should.

But some people don't believe in what the Bible has to say,
why there are even people who have never knelt to pray.

Now I agree that being wrong is always a possibility,
it could be you or I'll give you even perhaps me.

Now if I am right and a second coming there will be,
I'll see Jesus and go home for eternity.

You, on the other hand, will be horrified at the arrival of our Lord,
you will be judged and ejected from the presence of God.

But my friend if you are right and that event I never see,
I've still had a good life and enjoyed the time I've lived trying to be sin free.

Are you willing to take the chance that it is you who is right,
taking a chance of being banished forever from God's sight.

Seek diligently and the truth will be plain to see,
accept salvation and you too will be going home for eternity.

We will all be filled with expectation, waiting to see,
Jesus as He returns to gather you and me.
