Z.B.McClure - Opening Acts

by Z.B.McClure

Oh see the circling of the Heavens
Where death's angels ever fly;
When every mortal contemplating-
Surely knows, we're born to die.

Oh, you don't wanna face the truth!
We all try so hard to hide.
But doesn't matter where we run to...
We certainly, will one day die.

When, once I was a younger man
And war was drawing nigh.
I trembled at this contemplation:
My final,  mortal sigh.

Then, when turning sixteen years
I learned my Lord had died instead.
He promised me my resurrection;
Rested me from all my dread.

Oh, see the circling of the Heavens;
Jesus now enthroned on high?
I know that I will one day see Him!
In the twinkling of His eye.

Amen! One day will see my Jesus-
In the TWINKLING of HIS EYE .
