The Promised Day
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I will stir up your sincere mind,
By the path of a reminder;
That you will keep it realigned,
With Christ our pathfinder.
Never forget the predictions,
Of the holy prophets as told;
Of Jesus and His afflictions,
The Lord and Savior did unfold.
Scoffers will come on the last days,
Following sinful desires;
Walking after their lust that strays,
For pleasures that one acquires.
So where is His coming promise?
After the fathers fell asleep;
Things run with a lack of justice,
Wander around like aimless sheep.
They aim to overlook the fact,
Heaven existed long ago;
The formation God did enact,
Of water through the Word to flow.
Whereby the world then existed,
A flood of water would perish;
The ungodly that persisted,
The sinful lusts they would cherish.
By the same Word Heaven and Earth,
That now exists will see fire;
Judgment Day destroys all its worth,
And ungodly men’s desire.
