Midnight Cry

You ever woke up and thought to yourself that it must be time for Jesus to come back?  Lately I’ve thought that many times.  There is such sadness in the world today from horrible things that are going on around us each and every day.  Senseless killings that we truly don’t understand.  Why are these people acting out in such horrific ways?  Were they not loved enough as a child? Who knows the true answer because you can see parents that are good people that ends of having a child that strays to the dark side.  We can set and debate all day long as to what causes these things and I believe we will never know the true answer until the day we meet our maker.  Today as I was getting ready for work listening to the morning show tell the story of the two news people that were killed yesterday, the thought of Jesus coming back soon hit me again.  He is coming back! We don’t know exactly when, but we do know he is because it is written in the Bible.  As I was running this morning, one of my favorite gospel songs came on my iPod.  I could hear my high school friend singing it as it played.  She will give you chills to hear her sing this song.  You may know it … “Midnight Cry”.   It’s a beautiful song!  Here are the lyrics from the song:

I HEAR THE SOUND

OF A MIGHTY RUSHING WIND

AND IT’S CLOSER NOW

THAN IT’S EVER BEEN

I CAN ALMOST HEAR THE TRUMPET

AND GABRIEL SOUND THE CHORD

AT THE MIDNIGHT CRY

WE'LL BE GOING HOME.

CHORUS

WHEN JESUS STEPS OUT

ON A CLOUD TO CALL HIS CHILDREN

THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE

TO MEET HIM IN THE AIR

AND THEN THOSE THAT REMAIN

WILL BE QUICKLY CHANGED

AT THE MIDNIGHT CRY

WHEN JESUS COMES AGAIN.

I LOOK AROUND ME

I SEE PROPHECIES FULFILLING

AND SIGNS OF THE TIMES

THEY'RE APPEARING EVERYWHERE

I CAN ALMOST HEAR THE FATHER

AS HE SAYS

SON GO GET YOUR CHILDREN.

AT THE MIDNIGHT CRY

THE BRIDE OF CHRIST WILL RISE.

REPEAT CHORUS

AND THEN THOSE THAT REMAIN

WILL BE QUICKLY CHANGED

AT THE MIDNIGHT CRY

WHEN JESUS COMES AGAIN

AT THE MIDNIGHT CRY

WHEN JESUS COMES AGAIN

WHEN JESUS COMES AGAIN

I hope we are all prepared for this day. I for one do not want to be left behind.  If you are reading this and you are not saved, I pray that you’ll open your heart to Christ.  I promise you’ll be forever more changed. 

Praying for the families of the journalist and the family of the shooter.  I also pray for the two children I learned of yesterday that was recently diagnosed with cancer.  May God provide healing to these families?  I praying for my run team as we continue our journey to run and raise money to help support cancer research to stop childhood cancers.  And also praying for the situation going on at MSU that I just heard about! An active shooter!!! The world really is going crazy these days.  We should all be on our knees praying. :>) 

Have a bless day! D
