Before The Wrath Poem by Denis Martindale

Behold the Scriptures one-by-one before life says goodbye,
For they explain about God's Son, and why Christ had to die,
And why the risen Lord has gone for centuries and more,
And why the Church must carry on, the Gospel to ensure.
The Bride awaits her special day, with good works here and there,
Before the Lord takes her away to safety that's elsewhere,
The day the world will not forget, that's when the nations mourn,
The day the world will taste regret upon that fateful dawn.
From ancient times, the Scriptures taught, through prophecies revealed,
From Revelations' last report, few secrets left concealed,
Then evidence amounted still, kept safe until the end,
Prepared for those who served God's will, the Gospel to defend.
The last days come, then last days go, until God's special day,
The Saviour comes, and saints will know, there's no time left to stay.
The world has had its time to choose, and now its grace has lost,
Amazing grace, thus to refuse, and so they pay the cost.
What will God do, once that day's done, to save lost souls at all,
To hold back judgements from each one who mocked each miracle,
Or thought that Heaven was a lie, a tale they could dismiss,
No future home when people die, no Paradise or bliss?
I mourn for sceptics young and old, the unforgiven souls,
Those proved as foolish, proud and bold, their theories full of holes.
Yet God will judge each heart and mind, each motive good or bad,
For every person left behind, and every chance they had.
