Do not ignore this fact,
That one day with the Lord;
Like years to be exact,
While in one accord.
Thousand years like one day,
When with the Lord your God;
As you trust and obey,
While honor and laud.
The Lord is never slow,
To do what He promised;
Some will think that they know,
Best as an atheist.
But patient for your sake,
For He will not destroy;
The chance that you may take,
In what you might enjoy.
God wants to give a chance,
For you to change your way;
Enabled to advance,
From the ways you did stray.
He will come like a thief,
In the cover of night;
Someone in disbelief,
Will burn from intense light.
Because of on that day,
When heard a roaring sound;
Heaven will pass away,
Christ will come and astound.
The universe will burn,
Destroying what man made;
Too late for you to turn,
Fate that waits to evade.
So think how you must live,
The kind of holy lives;
Asking God to forgive,
Prepared when Christ arrives.
Then you look forward to,
What the Lord has declared;
Of a new earth for you,
All believers be shared
