Straighten Up

Luke 21:34-38

​"...Straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

As the crowds turn against you,
Fear might cause you to feel weak,
Your body might tense knowing,
It's the killing of your faith they seek.
As the heavens burst and rage, 
Many hope to not be found,
While the seas rise and collapse,
People flee to higher ground.
Then with power and glory,
Heaven's Maker will light the sky.
Make way for the King, the angels shout.
The time has come for Christ to draw nigh!
Come out from among them, child.
Straighten up and be ready.
Lift up your face, have no fear.
Raise your hands to the heavens.
Your redemption is finally here.

(From Luke 21)
