In A Moment
A moment seems eternal when events are happening
That interrupt your course of life impacting everything
You are you were you thought would be the way your days would go
Without anticipation of events you did not know
Would suddenly from no where take away the ones you love
Or wipe away the life you've known you've told so many of
You've lived and grown accustom to with plans of coming days
Expecting God to faithfully direct you in His ways
But sometimes without warning all we've known and hoped would be
Is changed in that one moment with new opportunity
To see a new tomorrow with a future God has planned
A future born of those events which we don't understand
But for which God has made us as His instruments for Him
To reach a class of people in a way that shares with them
The character and purpose of our God they do not know
Who in a moment suffered change His love for us to show
When taken from a garden His own Son was crucified
And for our own salvation on that cruel cross He died
Was buried in a stone cold tomb from which He rose again
But this time with the scars He bears the only marks of sin
That will be His forever to remind us of the day
Our Father gave His all for us to take our sins away
And give to us the promise that if we will trust in Him
The ones we loved and lost before we'll love and hold again
When all that He has promised will be finished in this place
When mercy's door will close the way to see the Father's face
And those who might have seen Him through events He brought us through
Reject the grace He's offered them this way through me and you
That we would not have chosen but for which we'll thank Him then
When those we love and all we've hoped will be restored again
And will be ours forever without fear of that unknown
As God fulfills His promise in the ones who are His own
So friend if in these moments you are suffering in pain
And anguish for another that you might not see again
Remember God's great promise through His Son He gave to us
That all will be revealed that day He comes for those He trusts
John 15:1-9; Isaiah 41:10; 1 Corinthians 15:50-58
