Messiah's coming

Ezra Bature 1994 (Saminaka)



The sky is cloudy,
thunderous sound terrified with lightening,
clueless people derping outside with rainshade,
the rumble is hostile, rainbow bow in terror,

The universe affright
Houses swamp,
Temblor shake our terrestrial
Pregnant woman distress,
grave open,  the death rise,
endless chaos on earth,
the gate of Heavens open..

Errand-ghost arriving with their white garments,
they blindfold sinners and send them to eternal anguish.

The Messiah is coming!
Salvation to believers,
the realm of Heavens is silent,
few are chosen and many in anguish

Lord!  Lord!!, the sinners called, the Lord answered not,
they gnash their teeths in torment,
dying soul die not,

Mercy! Mercy!!, they called,  the Messiah is merciless,
Now!.. the blameless soul rejoice with the Messiah
and receive the crown of glory.....
Jehovah! Jehovah!! the sinless soul praise his name...
