Mighty Trumpet Blast Poem by Carmela Patterson

While at prayer in Church this very morning
I heard within my spiritual soul as it was soaring
The sound of that mighty trumpet blast
That Christ Jesus is coming again at last.

There's not much time left, soon the dye will be cast
We must mend fences now and rectify our sins of the past
And be fully aware this earthly existence will not last.

Not much longer will we nonchalantly walk this earth
Whether we are young or old in this place of our birth.
Being caught off guard will not serve us well
Better to be heaven bound than to land in hell.

I still hear that trumpet blast deep within my spirit;
It serves as warning to us all and we really should fear it.
God gives us instructions in the Ten Commandments we know
It is imperative to live them exactly as He told us so.

The blast gets louder and will not leave me
Until I can convince everyone to believe me.
This admonition given me I must pass on to all
Who will listen and heed Jesus' Divine Call.

Will we be ready when He comes? Will we listen?
Will our souls be blackened or radiantly glisten?
Whether the trumpet blast is heard reading the signs
The foregone conclusion is He'll come when least expected
Pray to be every hour of every day Holy Spirit injected.
For Judgment will be ours as by Him we'll be inspected.

The Blast gets louder as Jesus nears
O that we'll all open our ears
Let's pray that everyone hears
So there won't be seas of endless tears
