Jesus is Lifted Up

Acts 1:1-11


That Jesus left upon the cloud

we’re wonderfully convinced,

And when the trumpet blows aloud,

returns the way He went.


“The promise will be yours quite soon.

I’ve told you oft before.

“Redemption changed your heart-blessed tune

by opening The Door.”


“Your power comes through The Spirit Pure.

Your job: to speak of me.

“Your time on Earth is short, be sure

to share my Gift, that souls be free.”


And when the tongue that spoke the worlds

fell silent on the mount,

He rose on the clouds like a flag unfurled.

Each day ’til His Return we’d count.


Two thousand years of counting days,

and more we still await.

For the sun still shines its daily blaze.

We know not when the date.


With Jesus lifted high above

the world of leaders here,

His heart’s the one we all should love.

The choice is crystal clear.


He’s coming back some wondrous day,

and then there’ll be no night.

Forever there to praise and play

with all He sets aright.
