SHANGRALA'S
Twas the night before Christmas and it seemed such a shame, not a soul mentioned our dear Savior by name. They talked about Santa and the reindeer and elves as their dust covered Bibles just lay on the shelf. 
The children were watching their late night TV full of cursing and garbage that they never should see. With ma in her nightgown and I in my PJ's We thought it funny and what could it hurt anyway.
When out on the lawn the dogs started howling, I figured it must be a burglar prowling. I grabbed up my old gun and ammo and mortar Away in a flash I was opening the door.
Off in the distance the moon shown so bright, But out in the east the clouds were a fright. When what to my questioning ears should I hear But the sound of a trumpet so loud and so clear.
The clouds started thrashing and they started to roll And it looked just like smoke or an unfolding scroll. Then came a voice so majestic and strong That I started to tremble cause I knew I'd been wrong.
Come Joseph, come Matthew, come Luke and John. Rise Mary, now Martha, Peter and Tom. Then the earth started shaking with a great roaring sound And I saw these souls rising up from the ground.
Then my heart began pounding and I couldn't believe The sight I was seeing, oh it just could not be. I shook my head twice and I looked back again And I still saw them floating up to the sky to meet Him.
Then in a twinkling the dead ceased to rise So I thought it was over but to my surprise A neighbor came screaming from his house down the street. His wife had just vanished as she lay there asleep.
Now the street was in havoc and our neighborhood too, Everyone had lost someone and didn't know what to do. The sirens were screaming as mothers all cried And I looked up and saw a plane fall from the sky.
Then I looked at my wife and she looked back at me And we both remembered our newborn baby. As we ran through the house we both half screamed, Lord, don't let this happen, please let it be a dream.
When we came to the nursery we searched over the floor we searched through the crib and we searched high and low, but our darling little baby was not in sight. Now we knew that the Rapture had happened this night.
As we walked through the house we knew what we'd see, No longer were our children sitting watching TV. In such great confusion I sat there and pondered How could God do this; it was all I could wonder.
I went to church Sundays and I gave of my tithes. I never stole things and I never told lies. Oh, it was then that it happened and it made me realize It isn't through goodness and it isn't through tithes, It isn't through works or things that we felt That could cause such a soul to be doomed to hell.
Yes, salvation is one thing that is not complicated. Just like the 16th verse of John stated, That the Father so loved us that He gave us His Son And whosoever believeth in Him, the victory is won. 
So if you're here today as a prisoner of sin, Remember Jesus is knocking so please, please let Him in. Yes, the Rapture is coming and it may not be long. What a shame to be left here when your loved ones are gone. ~ AUTHOR UNKNOWN |
