The Waiting is Over

Five Minutes
They said it would happen
Soon, the angels up there
When I asked but five
Minutes ago

Four Minutes
He said it would not happen
Soon, the demons down there
When I pleaded but four
Minutes ago

Three minutes
She’s right about the angels
They made a promise from
Which they cannot turn away
Believe it because two
Minutes remain

Two minutes
You’ve been lied to
I’m afraid; you can’t
Believe winged creatures so
Keep your guard up. Just one
Minute to go

One minute
Your worries are for naught
It’s plain to see,
As plain as the Messengers
Which stand before me.

The time is now
The waiting is done
Give thanks to Him
For the Day has Come
Raise your eyes in joy
He has given you His only Son.
