Riding to the Rescue

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)

We’ll praise Him till He saves us
And He takes us from this place
We’ll praise Him because we love Him
And we want to see His face

Jesus will not leave us here
Like orphans in the street
He’s coming back to get us
And to save us from this heat

The clouds are getting closer now
He’s riding like the wind
He’s coming back to take us home
Where we will be with Him

The sun won’t beat upon us there
We’ll never thirst again
No pain or death or sorrow there
Where we will be with Him

    Good Christian poem about looking forward to Jesus 's return.
    The beginning of the end times are getting stronger - Covid, Ukraine, Gay Pride increase, million of people still starving to death, population increase at 8 billion, abortions increase, apathy towards God, increase on spending on one's self, knowledge increase re computer and outer space and on and on !
