Before The Cloud Poem by Michael P. Johnson

How soon o Lord the day may break
When Jesus’ cloud will rise
Prepare us now and from us take
The veil from off our eyes

The facts allow more children see
Your Word allow them hear
Allow The Truth to set them free
And know salvation’s near

You are The One who made us Lord
Who Adam formed of earth
Please save more children from the sword
Through Christ and second birth

Reveal the consequence of sin
Rewards of selfless love
The only Way on earth’s to win
Eternity above

Your name o God we need to fear
Your boundless love to feel
So teach o Lord more children here
Through Jesus’ Flame & Seal

The Comforter! The Holy Ghost
Your promised Love & Care
Our Shield against the devil’s host
Our helper in despair

Lord, make quite plain what Heaven’s planned
Through Prophets Lord and Seers
Speak to the heads of church and land
Before our God appears

The night’s far spent the day draws nigh
Lord finish what’s begun
Who can afford on earth to die
Without Your Lamb and Son
