They assured us Jesus is coming,
I waited patiently for many years,
Alas, finally the great day arrived,
But my sad face is awash in tears.

I believed with much anticipation,
Yet no signs appeared in the sky,
Just clouds, stars and moon glow,
Thus now I am asking myself why.

The answer is really quite simple,
Such date setters are never right,
They claim they had a revelation,
But it wasn’t God’s heavenly light.

Such thots are often born of pride,
And a desire to be someone great,
Oh, yes, a wonderful holy prophet,
But they took that old Devil’s bait.

It is better to serve with humility,
Than try to establish one’s name,
For if you should prophesy falsely,
You will surely be left with shame.

But even much more importantly,
Is the faith you may even destroy,
So you better get right with God,
Remember His gifts are not a toy.
