The Latter Rain    
                                    

 We know about the former reign,
When kingdoms first became.
We read about his mighty works,
And have a vague idea of how His kingdom  came.

He said it isn’t of this world,
But higher……. and more difficult to see.
Yet through his gracious nature,
He gave a seer’s eye to such as me.

Now what a joy this gift has brought,
Into my stoic life.
To see the truth of heaven’s wealth,
And simple things on earth,
Like children,  home   and wife.

But when the latter reign is due,
A thousand years will pass away from me and you.
All pain and heartache taken,
At once a blinding flash. 

Till through an open heaven’s gate,
Redeemed and washed our souls shall pass.
So stay alert and watch the sky,
Like spirit,s weather men. 

For as a thief before the dawn,
When kingdom comes.
There’ll be no past, or now, or even then.
