Who was it but God's immaculate son
who carried the whole world's sins on his back;
lashed, broken, torn; a victory won
o'er death and destruction; a new path begun.
Men fail in cold facts; religions abound
teaching works and works only to please a stern God.
Ears stopped against Spirit not hearing God's sound,
the cry of salvation; a call to surround.
Dawn is surely coming; trump sounding the call;
"Come up hither", protection from woe, strife and pain.
Faithful men will respond; rapture-caught overall,
unbelievers remaining to witness sin's fall.
Time to do final favors for loved ones and friends.
Spread good news before all repentance repeals;
Spirit withdraws; salvation ascends;
God's White Throne established; Earth's final ends.
