Hi Brian!

This week the lesson is simply a song! Brooke Ligertwood sang this song on her album called "Eight". It's called "Soon" and here are the lyrics:

Soon and very soon
My king is coming
Robed in righteousness and crowned with love
When I see him
I shall be made like him
Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon
I'll be going
To the place he has prepared for me
There my sin erased
My shame forgotten
Soon and very soon

I will be with the one I love
With unveiled face I'll see him
There my soul will be satisfied
Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon
See the procession
The angels and the elders 'round the throne
At his feet I'll lay my crowns my worship
Soon and very soon

I will be with the one I love
With unveiled face I'll see him
There my soul will be satisfied
Soon and very soon

Though I have not seen him
My heart knows him well
Jesus Christ the lamb
The Lord of heaven

I will be with the one I love
With unveiled face I'll see him
There my soul will be satisfied
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon

We have been hearing since we were first born again that  the Rapture of the Church, when we are all caught up in the air to be with the LORD, will be VERY soon! That was over 44 years ago! He hasn't appeared for us yet for the purpose of taking us all to Heaven! BUT, keeping the idea that it COULD happen at any minute foremost in our thinking helps us to stay in tune with HIM and of one mind with HIM! He MAY not appear for us in another 44 years, BUT we KNOW that HE WILL! I just want to encourage you with this song that even if we have to wait more, we can ALWAYS, and EVERY DAY, be filled with His Presence, know His Purpose, obey His Word and keep looking forward with great anticipation as we get ever closer to THAT DAY! Here is Brooke with that song!

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
