Description
I crafted this sprightly, wordy 6/8 tune as an antithesis of sorts to “If You’re the Same God,” betraying unruffled, eschatological tenacity against the world’s contempt for Jesus’ followers.
Lyrics
Brothers, sisters: May we all remember the words of holy prophets and apostles, for there'll be mockers withered in the pleasures of flesh and saying, "Life is not a novel." But since Creation, God has been revising our plot with mighty floods and blood from martyrs. So after Jesus ties the knot for heaven and earth, is there a family or a fire? Brothers, sisters: May we all remember the lives of holy prophets and apostles, for there'll be scoffers swearing oaths of infinite wealth (and they'll have the gall to call it "gospel!"). But since Creation, God has been rewarding the meek with steady mercy and compassion. So after Jesus ties the knot for heaven and earth, will we ascend for our endurance? Well, our Lord knows all -- for Him, a single day is like a thousand years. Our Lord is calm -- He's never slow to act, but waits for all to come. Out of the blue, Creation will pass away with loud and grating tones. Great flames will rise, but after the dragon dies, our faith will lead us home. We're going home! (C) 2012 Made to Make Music
