Midnight Cry Michael English
Chorus:
When Jesus steps out
on a cloud to call his children
the dead in Christ will rise
to meet Him in the air
and then those that remain
will be quickly changed
Oh, at the midnight cry
when Jesus comes again
on a cloud to call his children
the dead in Christ will rise
to meet Him in the air
and then those that remain
will be quickly changed
Oh, at the midnight cry
when Jesus comes again
2nd verse:
I look around me
I see prophecies fulfilling
Oh, and the signs of the times
they're appearing everywhere
I can almost hear my Father
as He says, "Son, go get my children"
Oh, yeah, at the midnight cry
the bride of Christ will rise
I see prophecies fulfilling
Oh, and the signs of the times
they're appearing everywhere
I can almost hear my Father
as He says, "Son, go get my children"
Oh, yeah, at the midnight cry
the bride of Christ will rise
When listening to this song, I imagine Jesus standing at the gates of
heaven, waiting....just waiting for His Father to say, "Son, it's time. Go
get my children." And the whoop of elation from our Savior as He is
surrounded by angels rushing out of the gates to bring the remaining Believers
home for eternity.
When we hear that trumpet sound... I imagine Believers hearts leaping in unison, knowing that sound means our time on earth is done.
I can't wait to hear it. I'm so over this world, and the fake people in it. I'm tired of persecution from people who claim to love me. I'm tired of back-stabbing people who think they need to cause trouble, just because. I'm tired of fake Christians the most.
There was a survey in the bulletin at church this morning. A little background - I've always had a problem with my church's view on singles. We had a singles minister for a couple of years, but his primary focus was on the college and 20 year olds. On this survey, there was a question about what type of full time minister is needed... Can you guess what was missing? Yep, a singles minister. The singles ministry at my church is relegated to some folks. When I was involved in the singles ministry several years ago, they somehow decided I was the person who planned every single social event. While I enjoy this, it gets old when I do not get help. I went to teach in the youth department for a couple of years and then went back to the singles ministry… And it happened again. I was the social director. And one of the people 'in charge' of the older singles made it clear she did not like me. So, I left again, and have not plugged in anywhere. It is hard when the church members make you feel invisible and unwanted. My best friend and her family go to this church, so I tend to hang with them whenever possible, but that doesn't always happen. Part of me wants to find another church altogether... Just because I'm so tired of being invisible and treated like an outcast. Then I wonder if it would be the same way somewhere else.
It is hard to go to a new church when you are single... The men flock and the women hate. Somehow you have just become competition. Why, I have no idea. I'm not there primarily to date someone... I'm there to further my relationship with Jesus. If I meet someone, that's a bonus. But I'm not there to 'look' for a man. I think that has been one of my main reasons for not leaving my current church.. I've always been against those who church-hop looking for a spouse, and I don't want to be looked at in that way or placed in that category. I know what I'm looking for so I shouldn't worry about it, but I do. I have an idea of where to start. This church I have in mind had Saturday night services, which would be nice... But the idea of not going to church on Sunday is so alien to me. I’ll stay where I’m at for now, but keeping that door open in the event God says to move.

I know, that in the end, it won’t matter where I went to church or who I
knew… the only thing that will matter is living for Jesus and teaching my child
to do the same.
