I am coming!

Our lives are like a poem yet unfinished,
God strikes through and labors over each and every sentence,
Like a vision yet unfulfilled,
He fills in the details, like the sun rising over the hills,
He fashions and forms our shape from the dirt and the clay,
Without His breath our brittle bones lay
The winds and dust of time cover us,
We are buried, like a dead man - useless
But for a purpose we are called,
With His voice we are transformed like Saul to Paul,
Rise up, dry bones! Rise up!
For your time has come - I will fill your cup!
Let my glory arise,
Open your eyes!
Take your place, Oh Church of mine!
Stand at each street corner and yell "Come, come all and dine! The reward is thine!
I am the filler of empty space,
I am the one who took your place,
You are my beacon, my light on a hill,
Today is the day I have chosen, my glory fulfilled!
Take your place, Oh Church of mine!
My burden is easy, My yoke divine,
Though you are ill and your stomach is queasy,
Stand up, take hold of your healing,
Shake off! Shake off the dis-ease your are feeling!
I have claimed you, you are mine!
Your life is my miracle and my sign!
Declare! Declare the works you have seen,
You are ready, like a babe ready to wean!
Push forth, push forth I stand to give birth,
Go to the people and say, "Beware! Beware! I am returning to earth!"
