These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Feast of Trumpets

The trumpet call to leave the Earth
is for the redeemed, who know new birth.
Is this the day, that He will come
or add we to our lives a sum?

The trumpet makes its music known
at His behest, Whose is The Throne.
We wait the call, that some fine day
We stand before Him, and obey.

Salvation is in Christ Alone,
Who paid the price to sins atone.
The trumpet beckons His Own bride
to sit fore’er by His Dear Side.

We thank Him for the Trumpet Feast,
The One, Whom rode on lowly beast,
that brought Him to Jerusalem,
where He would die and rise again.

The Feast of Trumpets will some day
proclaim the news, “We’re called away
to live with Him forevermore
to know His wedding feast’s great store.”
