A BEAUTIFUL POEM
NEED TO READ
Twas the night Jesus came
and all through the house,
not a person was praying,
not one in the house..
*
The Bible was left
on the shelf without care,
for no one thought
Jesus would come there..
*
The children were dressing
to crawl into bed,
not once ever kneeling
or bowing their head..
*
And Mom in the rocking chair
with babe on her lap,
was watching the Late Show
as I took a nap..
*
When out of the east
there rose such a clatter,
I sprang to my feet
to see what was the matter..
*
Away to the window
I flew like a flash,
tore open the shutters
and lifted the sash..
*
When what to my wondering
eyes should appear,
but Angels proclaiming
that Jesus was here..
*
The light of His face
made me cover my head...
was Jesus returning
just like He'd said..
*
And though I possessed
worldly wisdom and wealth,
I cried when I saw Him
in spite of myself..
*
In the Book of Life
which he held in his hand,
was written the name
of every saved man..
*
He spoke not a word
as he searched for my name,
when He said "it's not here"
My head hung in shame..
*
The people whose names
had been written with love,
He gathered to take
to his Father above..
*
With those who were ready
He rose without sound,
while all of the others
were left standing around...
*
I fell to my knees
but it was too late,
I'd waited too long
and thus sealed my fate.
*
I stood and I cried
as they rose out of sight,
Oh, if only I'd known
that this was the night....
*
In the words of this poem
the meaning is clear
the coming of Jesus
is now drawing near...
*
There's only one life
and when comes the last call,
We'll find out that the Bible
was true after all...
