The True Rapture
So many folks will tell you that when Jesus comes again
To cleanse the world in righteousness and put an end to sin
His coming will be secret and no one will even know
Unless they are the chosen who with Him to heaven go
They'll tell you there's a rapture unlike Jesus said before
That leaves the unconverted lost and standing at the door
To face the tribulation seven years upon this earth
That they might have another chance to know Him through rebirth
And then they get all fuzzy in the way they compromise
The prophesies in scriptures that are clear before our eyes
That speak of coming judgement and the raising of the dead
And also of the very truth of all that Jesus said
Because this secret rapture is not as they say at all
The secret in the scriptures is just when the Lord will call
His people from the trouble and the trials they are in
And put an end to Satan's game of tempting them to sin
For as Christ simply told us in His own undying words
The trumpet of the Lord will sound that draws us heavenwards
And every eye shall see Him when He comes the second time
To ransom the elect of earth and leave the lost behind
Where all have died who knew Him but refused to let Him in
To make and mold and fashion them to be the more like Him
And those who never knew Him but had opportunity
And chose the path of self instead of His humility
Until the years of judgement up in heaven will have past
Where all the saved and chosen will through records know at last
That those who had been left behind in death when Jesus came
Were rightly judged as they alone must bear their guilt and shame
And when that judgement's over and the thousand years have past
And all the saved and chosen come with Jesus back at last
The lost are resurrected just the way they were before
To see the glory they refused that Christ had called them for
And with the final actions of the judgement as they see
And there confess that Jesus Christ is Lord on bended knee
They'll rise in one last effort of rebellion that will end
When fire cleanses all the earth for life to start again
Matthew 24:32-39; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 20
