The Prophet Joel SAW it
While it’s exciting to finally be here, Mark 13 and Mat. 24-25 make it Clear we won’t be pampered. Be STRONG. We WIN. Trust. He SAID so.

Verse 1
Behold the withering leaves, the barren vines
The skies are dark, the land in a state of despond
An ominous judgment, nature's wrath unveiled
Against the sins of men it has come to prevail
Chorus 1
But even in the midst of calamity
Let the ones whose hearts belong to infinity
Stand in faith, and let their prayers ascend
As for His mercy, it shall never end
Verse 2
Behold the enemy at the gates, invaders from afar
Their wrath and viciousness unleashed at the door
The cry of widows echoes in the sand
Bereaved, oppressed, and left with no helping hand
Chorus 2
But even in the midst of calamity
Let the ones whose hearts belong to eternity
Stand in awe, and let their prayers ascend
As for His mercy, it shall never end
Verse 3
Behold the day of glory, the triumph of light
The Lord delivers His people from the night
No longer shall they weep, nor shall they die in vain
For His kingdom's rule has come to remain
Behold the master plan, design of Providence divine
For only in the darkest moments does His glory shine
The pain, loss, and mistakes shall matter someday
For they are but a thread in the tapestry of His display
Chorus 3
So when it's hard to see through the pain
Let the hearts of His faithful never wane
The devastation and failure that we meet
Is part of His plan, a future victory sweet.
Verse 4
Awaken all who serve of the Lord,
He calls you forth, a strengthening horde
On wings like an eagle, it’s time to arise
Above lies, above strife above compromise
In these last days, minutes and hours
The Spirit pours out to lead and empower
Both women and men, the young and the old
Visions descend, dreams will be told.
Be bold, step into victorious life
A people with purpose come forth and unite
Shoulder to shoulder, none falter or fall
Climbing through windows and scaling the walls
The weak become strong, the impoverished rejoice
As the Lord goes before with a thundering voice
In the camp while a roar within Zion is heard
For Strong is the God who makes Good on his Word
Chorus 4
Let the faithful hearts now ignite
The Spirit of God shall lead them right
Through the chaos, they will stand firm
In His strength they shall overcome
So let the faithful hearts now come together and rejoice
His mercy and His promises, He shall forever voice
In repentance, the wounded land shall be healed
By His Spirit, the faithful's hope will be sealed
SEALED.
