'Twas The Night Jesus Came
'Twas the night Jesus came and all through
the house,
not a person was praying, not one in the
house...
The Bible was left on the shelf without care,
for no one thought Jesus would come there...
The children were dressing to crawl into bed,
not once ever kneeling or bowing their
head...
And Mom in the rocking chair with babe on her
lap,
was watching the Late Show as I took a
nap...
When out of the east there rose such a
clatter,
I sprang to my feet to see what was the
matter...
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
tore open the shutters and lifted the
sash...
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but Angels proclaiming that Jesus was here...
The light of His face made me cover my head,
it was Jesus returning just like He'd
said...
And though I possess worldly wisdom and
wealth,
I cried when I saw Him in spite of
myself...
In the Book of Life which he held in his
hand,
was written the name of every saved
man...
He spoke not a word as he searched for
my name,
when He said "it's not here," my head
hung in shame...
The people whose names had been written
with love,
He gathered to take to his Father
above...
With those who were ready He rose without
sound,
while all of the others were left
standing around...
I fell to my knees but it was too late,
I'd waited too long and thus sealed my
fate...
I stood and I cried as they rose out of
sight,
Oh, if only I'd known that this was the
night...
In the words of this poem the meaning is
clear
the coming of Jesus is now drawing
near...
There's only one life and when comes the
last call,
We'll find out that the Bible was true after
all...
