Should Jesus ever come back to earth

as He promised to, would you be amazingly surprised?

especially, if He spoke to each of us in turn

would you believe your eyes!

 

and lie prostrate before His nail holed feet

then kiss the wound in His side

and say thank you Father for taking away our sins

now we have from you no more the need to ever hide.

 

Should we ask Him, how is life in heaven, Lord

have we all a place prepared for eternity

where we can sail with you and God, on the cloudwaves golden tide?

oh! my Messiah, let it be!

 

or, am I of this perfect scenario, only dreaming?

then let me dream-ask one last thing of Thee

 

Please keep us Father, well supplied with wonderful WOL poetic minds,

oh! and Yorkshire tea!

A more interesting question would be Tom, 'if Jesus did return, would anyone recognise him?
