Victory Poem by Wakefield Mahon

I
'Victory! ' was the battle cry
Of the Lord and His angel brigade
As they marched over earth on the rapture's day
In a brilliant chromatic parade

II
The Lord's day had come
Like light through the trees
Like the snow
On Autumn's bright colored leaves

'Twas the day of the Lord
As He lifted His sword
And all of our lives
Would now be restored

The angel of Truth
Was the first to arrive
With his light
He revealed every lie

The angel of Light
Burst forth like a flame
Shedding light
On the evil of men

Then the high became low
When the angel had shown
What the earth's masses
Should have known

The angel of Love
On hearts writing words
Came to claim
All those owned by the Lord

Yet, the angel was dismayed
When God's grace had been displayed
Many people with stubborn hearts
Decided still to stay

III
Then Michael appeared
Without any fear

He drew out His sword
In the name of the Lord

Sound out the call
We'll defeat one and all
Satan will fall

The dragon then rose
To challenge his foes

He gave it his best
Put their hearts to the test

The battle raged on
Until it was dawn
And the earth was gone

IV

Soon came the dawn of a beautiful morn
Then Gabriel lifted his celestial horn
The sweetest song since the Son was born

The song it sounds so sweet to me
An end had come to history
Except for the Lord and His victory
