THIS IS THE HOUR

The trumpets blast. Many hit the ground.

Others are jumping. They are familiar with the sound.

The sky splits as He makes His entrance in glory and power. 

People begin to repent. It's too late! This is the hour!

Some shout with joy. Their King has come!

Some faint in fear. In a second, awakened from their spiritual slum. 

Some leap from the ground. This is what they always expected.

Some hide in the shadows terrified of what they never accepted. 

Grace cries out for those that believe.

Sin screams on behalf of those who are not qualified to leave.

Arrogance turns to terror, pride to shame.

"This is He! The One that has been given the name above every name!" 

"I didn't know He was coming! I didn't know it was true!"

Those that are left look around. Do they see you? 

He will declare, "I am Alpha and Omega. The Beginning and the End." 

He will snatch away His saints and each of their hearts He will mend. 

"Shhh..." they say. "This truth, don't tell."

He comes on the clouds to declare war on Hell.

With many crowns on His head, His eyes burn like fire. 

This is the One who uncovers and crushes the serpent, the liar. 

Some will remain, their sin exposed.

Some are left, their filth disclosed. 

As evil darkness invades the earth,

Many will regret the day of their birth!

There's only one way. It is through Jesus, through His blood.

Those that leave with Him have been washed in a rushing crimson flood!

Their righteousness, their deeds, their efforts are not enough.

It is only the blood! This alone saves us!

"I didn't know He was coming! I didn't know it was true!"

Those that are left look around. Do they see you? 

He is coming on the clouds with glory and power.

Call on His name! This is the time of salvation. This is your hour!
