Second Chances are Coming

Living in a world, looking around, decay is seen everywhere.
Seeing perversion, corruption, depravity and more, we lament.
Politicians, leaders, preachers, governments, heartily embrace.
Afraid to speak against decay, they wrest and twist truth.
To their shame, they readily join forces with the darkness.

Observing all seen in the blink of an eye, He commissions.
Foreseeing all, knowing a mighty shaking is coming, He calls.
Looking down, He calls those who have understanding of times.
Filling them with prophetic understanding, He prepares vessels.
A purified kingdom that cannot be removed, He prepares.

Compassionate, long-suffering, full of mercy, He considers.
Desiring all to repent, He holds back, giving opportunity.
Holding back, He sends rain, preparing to moisten the soil.
Those with understanding begin to rise with His clarion call.
Truth having fallen, chosen ones, begin to prepare breaches.

In unfailing love, the Heavenly Father rains righteousness.
The earth shaking with intensity, He starts removing.
Removing that which offends, His kingdom begins to appear.
Without observation, kingdom fragrances dispel decay.
As perversion, corruption, and deprivation wane, joy returns.

His anointed ones proclaiming truth, righteousness pours.
In His merciful, long suffering, He gives second chances to all.
As the world shakes, those with understanding herald truth.
Holding back nothing, signs and wonders appear everywhere.
In abundance, in heavens and on earth, wonders convince.

Coming to claim those ready, He prepares to separate.
Separating sheep from the goats, His harvest is ready.
The trumpet sounding, He’s ready to send His Son to reap.
Catching up all responding to His clarion call, He’s ready.
Gathering the called-up ones from the four winds, He comes.


See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be unwise but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Ephesians 5:15-17
