Waking Up In The Resurrection
When I 'woke up' this morning,
I did not groan or creak,
As I reached out to the nightstand,
My spectacles to seek.
I couldn’t feel their framework;
And, much to my surprise,
I saw the room quite clearly
When I opened up my eyes!
I noticed, when I showered,
That I moved a little quicker.
Then, when I went to wash my hair,
It seemed a little thicker!
I went to get my dentures
To set them on my gums,
But there were teeth already there!
Now, where did they come from?
Although my hearing aids weren’t in,
I heard the doorbell ring!
When I went to answer it,
I saw the greatest thing!
Why, there were friends and family
All standing around my door.
They all looked so happy.
We hugged, and hugged some more!
The tears were flowing freely,
So happy were we all.
Then, they began to fill me in
On things I can’t recall.
They tell me that I died
Way back in 1998;
That I’ve just been asleep since then,
On the resurrection to await!
I’m eager for them to tell me
About Armageddon’s war.
How Jesus won the victory,
And what happened just before!
We sang Jehovah’s praises.
We laughed and talked ‘til dark.
They told me ‘bout the progress
To turn the earth back to a park.
'How long from when I died,' I asked,
'Did that old system end?
How far along is the Thousand Years,
And … what about my friend?'
They tell me names of some I knew,
Who died so faithfully;
Then, they mention briefly
Some we will never see!
Some names do not surprise me;
Some names are quite a shock!
I’m just so glad that I am here,
As one of Jesus’ flock!
