Quickly – v8

Quickly, at once, now
motion repeating;
words of power, urgent
without any delay;
urgency in this message
the soon coming of Christ

His work important
no time to waste;
power in the now, this moment,
now handed down to us;
the work of the ages
sharing His gift of grace

Words explosive, seemingly as if
today were the only day to share, to do,
to offer them God’s grace;
needing to share, to shout
needing to hurry, to run
that all would know Christ,
the Son of God today

The incredible gift, grace
an urgent message, present
for the whole world;
fulfillment of scripture
leave everything, to go, to follow
to come to Christ

Quickly, at once, go,
now, this moment;
motion repeating
without any delay, going;
the message of Jesus
coming now, coming today

Quickly – v7

The words of the scripture
no time to waste
Quickly, at once
the motion repeating
without any delay
the urgency of this message
the coming of Christ

His work important
no time to waste
the sense of urgency
of the message’s importance
now handed down to us
the work of the ages
sharing Christ message of love

The words explosive, seemingly as if
today were the only day to share, to do,
to offer God’s grace
to so many
who do not believe
needing to hurry
that all would know Christ

The incredible gift, grace
an urgent message
a gift to be opened
in the fulfillment of scripture
we are to go,
to leave everything
and come to Jesus

Quickly, at once
the words of the scripture
the motion repeating
without any delay
the message of Jesus
coming today

Not His Treasure – v8

Not like the rich man,
his wealth was not the issue,
not his treasure, his possessions
that created his distance from God.
Pride in his piety, his certainty
his holiness itself, the wall, the stumbling block
leading him to question the Creator
the justice of God.

God’s response to the human before Him
a perspective made clear
that was far beyond him.
Our place in the order
in God’s plan for the universe
by reverence, repentance only
we are made right before God.

Quickly – v6

Quickly, at once,
the motion repeating
without any delay;
the urgency of this message
the coming of Christ

His work important,
no time to waste,
now handed down to us;
the work of the ages
sharing Christ’s message of love

The words explosive, seemingly as if
today were the only day to share, to do,
to offer God’s grace;
needing to hurry
that all would know Christ

The incredible gift, grace,
an urgent message
fulfillment of scripture;
leave everything you are doing
and come to Jesus Christ

Quickly, at once,
the motion repeating
without any delay;
the message of Jesus
His coming today

Not like the rich man
his wealth not the issue,

Pride in his piety, certain,
his holiness itself was the wall,
leading him to question the Creator.

God’s response, the human before him,
a perspective made clear
in the wisdom of the ages
that was far beyond him.
