Were there signs
when You came
the first time, Lord,
so we would know
"where" and "when"?
"There were signs
in Heaven
and signs on Earth
and signs
in the hearts of men:
A radiant star
and My virgin birth
and Anna
and Simeon."*
Are there signs
when You come again,
dear Lord,
that will set
Your Day apart?
"Yes: folding Heavens,
a shaking Earth,
and fear
in the faithless
heart--
For I am the Sign
men speak against,
though I came
Life to impart."
"For I, saith the Lord,
will be unto Jerusalem
a Wall of Fire round
about, and will be the
Glory in the midst of her." *
But watch and pray
as your King
draws near
and Creation's pangs
grow strong;
With Jerusalem
as Earth's,
focal point:*
Look up!
Shout the Victory Song!"
