Good News

Something wonderful is coming

Calling all those that groan, over this world's calamities

Who are tired of the tragic news, we see on our TVs

Those who tire of viruses, of terrorists and crime

And hate to hear of yet another injustice in our time

Have you, of late, found yourself, astonished and bemused

When you read of women, who are so crushed and so abused?

Of shooting sprees and stabbing fests, that innocence do kill

And the poor and sick, who drain and die, cause they cannot pay the bill

Does your heart go out to poverty, yearning for it to end

While many gorge themselves with wealth, that they can never spend?

Do you still believe the promises, of political Messiahs

Who claim to build us Heaven, and fulfill all our desires?

Do you feel that life is just, a struggle to endure

And joys are rare, and so short-lived, and meaning is obscure?

And finally, when life is done, and we draw our final breath

Don't you wish that we could find, a way to conquer death?

And if so, you are not alone, in questioning this deal

For honest people everywhere, this is how they feel

But don't despair, and don't give up, for this world is about to change

It's a promise that is true and sure, though at first it may sound strange

It does not come from imperfect men, so prone to selfish ways

But comes from one who cannot lie, who wants to bless our days

It comes, along with a guarrantee, as certain as the dew

Of promises made before, all of which came true

He warned us that our world would reach, it's current desperate days

That nations would reel, in confused despair, like children in a maze

That diseases and disasters, would violently give birth

And that mankind would be poisoning, and ruining the earth

But when these things were to ocurr, and be observed and viewed

They were indications, of imminent good news

An event of wonder, and of joy, to change the world we see

To bring in peace, and health, and love, and true security

"Thy Kingdom comes" He promises, with marvels that it brings

To replace all Lords and governments with a righteous, loving King

Who will heal and wipe all tears away, and broken hearts will mend

And those of us, who are friends of peace, He will call His friends

Restoring youth to the old and frail, and vision to the blind

And removing sickness from our lives, and sorrow from mankind

He'll quell all storms and fires, and calm the mighty quakes

And burn man's deadly weaponry, and missiles He will break

Most amazing of His promises, a grand and glorious act

Will be to empty mankind's graves, and bring our loved ones back

Imagine greeting mothers lost, and husbands once more embrace

And children prematurely gone, to behold their little face

For He has sworn, that death will end, and life will never cease

And the world will be awash and glow, with everlasting peace

Our pains and fears will all disolve, and will never come again

And those so selfish, and so cruel, will no longer remain

So ease your mind, and console your heart, for this promise will come true

These wonders we can all behold, this He swears to you

Our future is not in man's hand's, nor by fate will it be won

For God's will will be done on earth, when His glorious Kingdom comes

"God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will sorrow, nor outcry, nor pain" - Revelation 21.4 (The Bible)
