He will come back
He promises that he
Will come back. Only
To Collect his own
I will go with him

Without the fear inside
Of me he will come
Back for all who claim
His heart

No, there is nothing
To fear from him, as
We are the ones that
Belong to him and him

Only.  I can’t wait, until
He comes. As it will be
A day of rejoicing
So don’t try and hide
Be right out in the
Open and he will take

You home
Belinda J. Harris
