Redemption

“When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”   Luke 21:28

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.   2 Timothy 3:1-5

another day begins,

another day ends,

how many days are left?

let me count the days;

we have become a society of death,

a cult of iniquity, violent predators,

obsessed with fresh new victims,

laughing at misery, taking delight

in suffering, fascinated by the pain,

immune to the cries for mercy,

lost in fantasy and delusion,

appearing to have a form of godliness,

yet denying the power;

the hope rises within,

the time almost here,

home only a moment away,

lift up your heads, for your redemption

draws near;

no more shall we hunger,

no more shall we thirst,

no more shall the sun beat down,

no more shall the heat scorch,

we shall lie down at springs

of living water;

every tear shall be wiped away.
