2) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Repenting of your sin, accepting Christ, The Only Way;
To get into Heaven's Gate, via the New Birth;
Not church, denomination, or a group, here on the Earth.
3) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Believe on Him, heartfelt words, only you can pray.
You could be the final soul, to make The Church, complete.
Compared to Earth, life in Heaven, truly can't be beat.
4) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Attending Church, and Bible Study, learning of God's Way.
Or just for appearance only, to earn prideful praise;
Instead of worshipping The Lord; to Him, all Glory, raise.
5) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Taking care of others who, need help in every way.
Or involved with other tasks, and not of Sabbath rest??
Sports and worldly things on His Day; these are not the best.
6) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Such as working at your job, the earning of your pay.
But, did you do this honestly?? Or from your boss, did steal??
For at The Bema Judgment Seat, the motives are revealed.
7) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
In school or college, learning things; for degree, one day.
Did you study earnestly, or waste your time, or cheat??
Everything you've ever done, shown at The Judgment Seat.
8) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Changing diapers of the babies; crying, words they say.
Children are a heritage, of The Lord above.
Faith there as a little child, example of His Love.
9) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Asleep in bed, your daily rest; for next days work, or play.
But, when the Rapture trumpet sounds, will you there, arise??
Or left behind, without The Lord; stay in your sleeping eyes??
10) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Reading Of His Precious Word, and to Him, you pray.
Or Christian in name only there, will you be left behind??
Letting yourself be deceived, spiritually blind.
11) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Bath or shower, cleaning up; from lifes gritty way.
But, only one thing truly cleanses, your soul from its sin.
The Precious Blood, Of Jesus Shed; Have you come to Him??
12) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Eating, drinking, meal time, cuisines have their say.
Did you give thanks to The Lord, for food on your plate??
And, ask for His Protection, from disease and sickness fate??
13) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
At doctors, or hospital, with appointment there, delayed.
For a checkup, surgery, or something else, there done.
For the saved, new bodies at, The Coming Of God's Son.
14) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Though ill, in pain, and dying there, rejoicing in The Way.
Precious in the Sight Of God, the death of all His Saints;
Soon meeting Jesus face to face, these ones, they can't wait.
15) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Answering the call of nature, when words, The Lord will say.
''Come up, here!!'' to His Church, with the trumpet blast.
In the twinkling of an eye; those left behind, aghast.
16) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
In the act of procreation, in the Marriage Way.
But, outside of Marriage, sex is fornication, friend.
For the Lord, He does not change; His Rules, they never bend.
17) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Longing for Christ, King Of Kings, The Truth, The Life, The Way.
Or will you be in acts of sin?? And, at that point, ashamed??
At the Bema, rewards lost; you're the one to blame.
18) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Driving, riding, flying somewhere, on the traveled way.
But, massive carnage is the rule, after the trumpet sounds.
Many drivers, passengers; are nowhere to be found.
19) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
The Lord knows your motives, heart; and even words, you'd say.
Preaching of The Gospel Truth, or tickling of the ears.
Sadly, some will be ashamed, when The Lord, appears.
20) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
While Christ's Precious Blood does wash, all our sins away.
His Grace, a license there to serve; not license there, to sin.
We'll give account for every deed, thought, and word, and whim.
21) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
The Rapture, it is imminent; at any hour, or day.
Faster than the light there from a distant star, is seen.
The Rapture, quickly come, and gone; nothing in between.
22) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Closer by the second, it'll come, without delay.
When the quota of saved souls, in The Church, is met.
Sadly, many left behind, will have deep regret.
23) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Relationship with Jesus Christ, The Truth, The Life, The Way;
Accepting what He did for you, to save your soul from Hell.
The only way to enter Heaven, when you hear death's knell.
24) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
All those who are left behind, many lies, they'll say.
''The Rapture, it did not occur; because I'm still here''.
But, inwardly, the Truth refused; these, shuddering in fear.
25) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
The second after it occurs, what changes, there displayed.
Either folks repent of sin, or toward the Lord, rebel.
Either martyred for their faith, or plunge to fiery Hell.
26) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
The Redeemed, now glorifed; no sin, or decay.
In resurrection bodies now, redemption is complete.
Eagerly, they bow in praise, there at The Lord's Feet.
27) You could be doing many things, on the Rapture Day.
Have you repented of your sin, in honest words, to say??
Accepting Christ, as Saviour, Lord; to bow before His Throne;
Or reject Him, cast away; as one He's never known.
