Twas The Day Jesus Came

Twas The Day Jesus Came

It was the day when Jesus came

And there was no peace in the house

The only creatures that were quiet

Were the cat and the mouse

The Bible lay dusty high upon a shelf

There was no family worship

And not a prayer said.

The news on the TV was blasting

But none seemed to care

That the signs were around them

Showing Jesus soon would be there

The children were fighting

Upstairs in the room

While the parents were arguing

Oh, this family is doomed.

All of a sudden, there arose such a clatter

That this family stopped fighting

To see what was the matter.

They all ran to the window,

And father tore open the curtain

They didn’t know what was happening

And that sure was for certain.

They looked up to the heavens

And in the East saw a light

That grew bigger and brighter

It was such a sight.

Then came the sound of a loud trumpet blast

And all of God’s children shouted

“Christ has now come at last!”

For this family and many others

It was surely too late

For the choices they made

Had sealed their true fate.

The others looked up

And watched Jesus draw near.

They all shouted for joy

For they had nothing to fear.

So be ready today, He is coming soon

It could be at morning, at night or at noon.

Take down your Bible

From off of the shelf,

Dust it all off and start reading it, daily,

In spite of yourself.

Don’t wait too long, for this you must do

For it may be too late

When you learn that the Bible is true.
