A Trumpet and Clouds

“Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.”  Psalm 14:7

There is much heartache in this world.  Too often we stray from our Savior. It is never our intent to do so but just as the one lost sheep of Luke 15 there we are in a desert land.  Once again we have strayed and we are in need of our Shepard.   He is there ready to rescue!

Oh, but one day there will come the final rescue, the completion of our salvation!  When we meet JESUS in the clouds!

To many times I’m found in this place.

The land of the weary, the land of disgrace!

Despair and ruin is found in this terrain.

Captured by evil and caught in my shame!

As in times of the past, I’ll look for GOD’s grace;

Looking to JESUS to remove me from this place!

I long for the day of the sweet trumpet sound,

When complete salvation is all that is found!

There will be no more fainting and drifting away!

Happy with JESUS, never to stray!

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”  1 Thessalonians 4:16,17
