My Psalm 507 Ascension and Beyond
Long ago on this day
The disciples were bereft
Their Savior and friend, their hope and their stay
Had ascended to the Father, He apparently left.
For the second time in two months
They had lost sight of Jesus
Buried from the cross, in a grave, behind a huge stone
They thought all was over, “Did He deceive us?”
Then, miracle of miracles, God resurrected Him
He walked and talked, taught, reassured them
That He would leave them again, and go to the Father
But would send a Comforter, and they would see Him again!
Imagine their distress when he rose up to heaven
Through clouds, leaving jobs for us all to accomplish
Go throughout the world, go tell the story
Baptize and teach, the Holy Spirit will give strength for this.
And so we await the time of His coming
Prophesied to God’s people from the beginning of Scripture
When the old passes away and the new becomes true
When the world’s heard His message, His return will occur
And Peaceable Kingdom, we await that new day
The Lion and Lamb together, no longer will we’ll search
And wars and envy and murder and such
Will disappear with all tears, God will reign on the earth.
The the universe will sing praises,
Hallelujah! Amen
For Jesus conquered, God promised
We’d see Him again. Amen and Amen.
