As we grow older, we naturally look back. But as believers in Christ, we also look forward. My collaborator Ned Nossaman recently wrote a poem that reflects our hope for the Lord’s return.
My dear friend Kyle forwarded your website and the poem by Ned. Thank you for publishing the poem. Your singing using an adapted hymn was very lovely; the melody matched up well with the lyrics. My wife and I both enjoyed it. May the Lord bless you for your service.
From the very first time I read this poem, these words from the second to the last stanza stood out to me: “…as you come to earth *at the right time*…. “At the right time” conveys to me that Jesus is Lord. 🙌. He knows all things. He is Lord over all things, and it will most certainly be “the right time” when He comes! Praise Him and thank Him! 🙌

Thank you, Oliver. It is a labor of love. And I am so thankful for being able to work with Ned in these days. Blessings to you and your family.
This is very encouraging. 💕

I agree. Only God knows when is the right time. But we look forward with hope and expectation for the Lord's soon return. Even all creation awaits:
"For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed."(Rom. 8:19).
