A Poem: The Angelic Visit

We were all amazed one incredible night

I never will forget that glorious sight

An angelic being lit the night like the day

So full of light and brilliant that way

It really was amazing, as I think back now

We fell to our knees, before him to bow

But he lifted us up, we were floating awhile

As he spoke we found comfort in his warm smile

He told us this world is in its last hour

With rescue to come from the God of power

To those who humbly submit to His way and law

And repent wholeheartedly of their every flaw

He said the Father is deeply saddened so

To see His children running to and fro

Acting as if they had no eyes or ears

Blind to it all without any fears

Wasting time on trivial art

And playing silly games like “Noah’s Ark”

He reminded us what Christ said about this time:

“Except I return, no flesh would be saved alive”

And then the angel suddenly started to cry

The sight of it all made me wanna die

For in his heart I knew he spoke only truth

And I’ve been a lying child all the days of my youth

I was pricked in my conscience, this I do know

And shame and remorse covered my face so

He then looked me right straight in the eye

And spoke so gently that I began to cry

“It is okay, you’re not alone

There are many like you, so stop, do not moan

Believe when I tell you that you have a good heart

And God has looked down on you and set you apart

I am here to tell you He wants you as His

So listen and learn, and change your ways hence

Open the book and digest every word

Pray to your Maker, for you have been heard

He has been preparing you for this very hour

Get up quick, clean up, take a shower

Prepare yourself to stand before Him

Your King has forgiven, your eyes no more dim

His Kingdom is coming, oh it is so near!

Don’t be afraid now, you have nothing to fear

God will protect you, He’ll be your new guide

And no more will you have anything to hide

Live your life as if each day is the last

Change your future, you can’t change the past

Put on the helmet from your Savior and Lord

It is your salvation, His word is your sword

Be strong and courageous, be hopeful and true

Don’t give in to Satan and he’ll stay away from you

Fight for the faith, the truth and the light

You’ll see your King soon, put up a good fight

When he returns, a crown will be yours

He’ll place it on your head and open His doors

Into His Kingdom you will be summoned

A place prepared for you, the good race now run

Before I knew it, the angel was gone

I looked and looked up until way past dawn

I wanted to see him just one more time

To never let go of that aura so fine

When I think on it now, it still is amazing

And every chance I get, into the sky I’m gazing

But he was just an angel and my Savior is Lord

So I bow down to Him on my knees I am floored

I pray for His kingdom, I pray for His grace

I pray I will someday gaze into His face

To see Him up close as my King so fine

Glorious and real, together in love we’ll shine…
