Terror in the Night

I sing a song about tears & laughter,
I sing a song about the hereafter.
Love & mercy, truth & justice have been laid aside,
Cups of wrath have filled up on the inside.

But here comes a cup, it is turned upside down
Wreaking havoc, on the other side of town.
Faith has run weak in many a pew,
The faithful chosen are yet but a few.

Love lays lost in a closet of despair,
Many are wondering if I’m really there.
Seeing so much that brings heart to woe
Is hard on My beloveds, so here comes the snow…

I speak metaphorically, of course, & that is hard.
But I know those whose hearts have been dealt a difficult card.
In many nations the people starve & bleed.
While here men have gone crazy for entertainment & greed.

I’m not unaware as many do think. 
So I’m waiting for those who will cause a big stink.
I look for the one who gets righteously discontent.
I listen to the one whose passion is intense.

I hear the one who is crying in their bed.
I see those starving for more of Me, they have said.
I’m coming down to shake the heavens & earth.
But will you be glad or be filled with mirth?

The glory is not what many do think.
It’s not something to play with, or to just take a drink.
Drinks are for sharing… 
Drinks are for caring !  

What happens to others is important to ME.
But will the blind eyes open & be glad to see thee?
You know I said that faith would wain.
Don’t be discouraged by the hate & disdain.

Keep your eyes on Your KING, 
For to your heart I will bring
Days filled with laughter & hope of which to sing
For all the startling miracles will forthwith spring.

People will be in confusion & hoping for relief.
I will comfort the broken, with your arms subdue grief.
Open your heart & open your homes, For the lost will come running, as the sirens do groan.

Do not be cast down, nor feel the pain of the wicked.
Easy I know to say, but I’m heralding a new day.
A DAY OF FREEDOM like you have never before seen.
A day of restoration & great GRACE for those who are lean.

I’m filling you up on the inside, with more of ME.
The same you will never again be!
A new thing springs forth in this hour you see.
Ever fruitful will I make your soul, like a tree.

Leaves for the nations to be poured out in their souls
Open your heart & I will fill your mouth!
I will make you My jewels, sparkly & clean.
I am polishing & shining bright, like no one’s ever seen.

Fire it consumes, I turn up the flame!
Higher & higher you will go, Till you GO in MY NAME.
