>'Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the
>house
>Not a creature was praying, not one in the house.
>Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care
>In hopes that Jesus would not come there.
>
>The children were dressing to crawl into bed,
>Not once ever kneeling or bowing a head.
>And Mom in her rocker with baby on her lap
>Was watching the Late Show while I took a nap.
>
>
>When out of the East there arose 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 threw up the sash!
>
>
>When what to my wondering eyes should appear
>But angels proclaiming that Jesus was here.
>With a light like the sun sending forth a bright ray
>I knew in a moment this must be The Day!
>
>
>The light of His face made me cover my head
>It was Jesus! returning just like He had said.
>And though I possessed 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 a sound
>While all the rest were left standing around.
>
>
>I fell to my knees, but it was too late;
>I had waited too long and this sealed my fate.
>I stood and I cried as they rose out of sight;
>Oh, if only I had been ready tonight.
>
>
>In the words of this poem the meaning is clear;
>The coming of Jesus is drawing near.
>There's only one life and when comes the last call
>We'll find that the Bible was true after all!
