He came before, as promised of old.
Christ came before as prophets had told.
He came, knowing He would be “sold”
But He came to break sin’s hold!
He’ll come again as a King, bold.
Christ will come from streets of gold.
He’ll come again His faithful to enfold.
Oh, be hot, my Friend, not warm or cold.
His coming may not your chart uphold.
Christ’s coming may not fit our small mold.
His return may not be (as thought) “two-fold”
But He comes Friend. Be ready to behold.
Read the Book; make it your stronghold.
Do not this poor prophecy rhyme scold.
Reading helps to remove the blindfold.
Some charts border on the over-bold. – eab, 3/17/08
