"Jesus Is Coming Soon"

Whenever I'm in my hometown, Gary, IN I attend Northlake Church of Chirst. Many years ago the congregation was introduced to the song, "Jesus Is Coming Soon". I became part of the teen choir, a few yeas later the young adult choir and there after, the adult choir. We did a bit of traveling to congregations in Indiana, Michigan, Illionis and even Tennessee. Throughout the years most of us "choir" members have remained faithful in our spititual quest. From time to time we see one another while visiting family in Gary. Five years ago we had a reunion in Chicago at Avalon Church of Christ during a Gospel meeting they were hosting. Near the end of the meeting, members of the "old" teen choirs from over twenty churches were congragated and asked to sing "Jesus Is Coming Soon". It was an experience, I shall never forget. A bunch of us are planning to meet in Aug. 07 in Birmingham or Indianaplois for another reunion. I can hardly wait!

Jesus Is Coming Soon By: R. E. Winsett, Dayton, TN

Troublesome times are here, filling men's hearts with fear, Freedom we all hold dear now is at stake, Humbling your heart to God, saves from the chastning rod, seek the way pilgrims trod, Christians, awake....

Jesus is coming soon morning or night or noon, many will meet their doom Trumpets will sound, All of the dead shall rise, Righteous meet in the skies, going where no one dies, Heavenly bound. (Church Gospel Songs and Hymns, pg 433)

Now as far as my current favoite inspiration song, well, I'll have to get back to you on that one. (smile)
