TRIBULATIONS

Thunder snow

Sleeting storms

Crippled metroplexes

Power down

Frozen towns

Polar vortex touches Texas

In the world you will have tribulation

Falling rains, rising floods

Stranding many on their roofs

Dozens slain, sliding mud

Dirty avalanche on the loose

In the world you will have tribulation

Wild fires

Uncontrolled

Fire-starters

Unpatrolled

Fire-nadoes beyond belief

Firefighters need relief

In the world you will have tribulation

Whirlwinds, cyclones

Earthquakes under seas

Hurricanes, typhoons

Tidal wave tsunamis

In the world you will have tribulation

Allison, Isabelle

Rita and the likes of Ike

Katrina hits New Orleans

The failure of a dike

In the world you will have tribulation

Sink holes opening up

Swallow much beneath the muck

Hopeless blame on bad luck

Experts speechless from the shock

In the world we will have tribulation

Nations quake

Bureaucrats crack

Leaders shake

Whistleblowers rat

In the world we will have tribulation

Terrorists terrorize

Innocents meet demise

Global problem multiplies

Worldly leaders theorize

In the world we will have tribulation

Unending war

Increasing poor

Famines with disease

Epidemics roar

Compounding more

Drowning out needy pleas

In the world we will have tribulation

Crews drink

Cruise ships sink

Endangering all who trust

Fortunes stored

On ocean floors

For barnacles and rust

In the world we will have tribulation

Twenty-thirteen

Reveals and trashes

The fraud of Nostradamus

May 15th

Tornado crashes

Rancho Brazos houses

Here in Texas we have had tribulation

Lingering draught

Shrinking lake

Rain without

Authorities take

Taxing shoreline

No one’s got

Fraud in our town?

Surely not!

Here in Granbury we have had tribulation

Someone said

These days would come

But by His victory

We’d overcome

From His peace

We can have peace
In His Spirit

We find relief

Through His truth

We are made free

By His grace

We shall believe

Jesus Christ said,

"These things I have spoken to you, 

that in Me you may have peace. 

In the world you will have tribulation; 

but be of good cheer,        

I have overcome the world.”               

JOHN 16:33
