Ready
A myriad of angels wait to hear the Lord's command
To come as one in number at the time that God has planned
Before the throne of Jesus for a time of jubilee
And escort Him from heaven as the ones He left did see
Him rise up into heaven in a chariot of clouds
Proclaiming to His people with a trumpet blast so loud
The mountains will all tremble as the eyes of all will see
The glory of our Saviour full displayed in panoply
But though it will be glorious when our Lord returns again
To draw the saint to heaven where there'll be no more of sin
There'll also be a sorry in the heart of Him who died
And rose again our Surety when He was crucified
A sorrow for the many who chose Satan over Him
By all the acts of selfishness that ruled the hearts of them
That never really gave them joy they thought that they might find
While focused on the worldly things that occupied their minds
And kept them ever thinking just a little more will do
A little more of this or that that might be old or new
But tempted them to look beyond what stood before their eyes
The beauty of an endless love that is the greatest Prize
That love that's found in Jesus Son of God and Son of Man
Who blended with humanity that all might understand
That valued most beyond this place where Satan has control
Is that which mirrors Christ in us and satisfies the soul
That selfless will for giving 'til there's nothing more to give
That leads a soul to ponder what it truly takes to live
In joy and peace and happiness that's not supplied by things
But by a daily walk with Him from Whom salvation springs
Like waters in a garden giving life where're it goes
Not standing still to stagnate but receiving as it flows
Its joy and satisfaction from the help of life it brings
That places in the hearts of those a melody that sings
Of those who will be ready when that jubilee begins
And in the clouds of glory our eternal God descends
And takes those home to heaven who gave all they were to Him
When He revealed His timeless grace that touched the hearts of them
Acts 1:7-11; Revelation 1:7; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
