1.) LIFE AFTER DEATH
Do you believe in Life After Death?
Or is this a topic you seldom consider?
When someone you love is ‘taken away’
Does the loss feel so great you feel nothing but bitter?
Well, you should when a body’s placed in a grave
Take comfort in the eulogy delivered.
Though most people think souls don wings, harps and halos
Others think life after death is a myth.
Well this is the Era of Space Exploration
And It’s time more of us come to understand this:
There is no debate:
LIFE AFTER DEATH DOES EXIST!
It’s hard to believe the solution’s been missed
To this mystery that’s perplexed humankind for so long.
We unmasked it while reading the New Testament.
Since we’re rock-and-rollers, we’ve put it to song.
We’re partly inspired because we’ve had visions.
Camouflaged by our music, we’re here with a mission:
To remind all the nations that we’re no longer primitive.
That life’s short on Earth, but to Earth it’s not limited.
To remind you all the Kingdom of God is infinitive.
Now Jesus said that He’s the only way into Eternal Life.
The Electric City Band members are ready to tell you about what we are certain Heaven is like.
Quite bluntly after your death what you are
Is the very same person IN THE BODY OF A STAR.
So the Heavenly Body precisely is that:
A CELESTIAL BODY as a matter-of-fact!
We can look at the common sense side of this theory
For we know that the law says you can’t destroy energy.
Upon death a godly soul leaves its body
Then "SHINE AS THE SUN SHINES FOR ETERNITY"
Look it up yourself in Matthew: Chapter Thirteen: Line 43!!!
"Shine as the sun shines for eternity."
It’s a Holy Book quotation we’re taking literally.
The godly shall SHINE AS THE SUN SHINES FOR ETERNITY.
If you give yourself some time to just think about this
It’s perfectly logical and becomes easier to deal with.
And even harder to believe the solution been missed!
Footnote: Matthew:13:43 The godly shall shine as the sun shines in the Kingdom of God."
2.) BRIGHT MORNING STAR
"I AM THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR." These are Christ’s very words.
He also said, "I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD."
As a band we conclude and we dare to suggest
That Our Bright Morning Star is orbited by Earth…
That the Light of the World is orbited by us…
Meaning: THE EARTH’S SUN IS JESUS..
AND, THUS, WE ARE HIS!!!
Read it for yourself.. Where our Lord Jesus declared
He’s the Bright Morning Star.. This is How.. This is where:
Get your hands on a copy of the New Testament.
Open it to the LAST PAGE.. Eight lines from the end.
You’ll be reading Revelation.. Eight lines from the end.
The eighth line from the end of the New Testament..
Line Number Sixteen: Eight lines from the end.
The eighth line from the end of the New Testament.
So read it for yourself, my friend.
Jesus said "I’m the Bright Morning Star."
And WE understand…
For what is the Bright Morning Star?
IT’S THE SUN!
In other words, what we’re trying to say,
OUR EARTH ORBITS GOD’S SON
Unto whose likeness we’re made.
Our human bodies are of flesh just like His was.
Our heavenly bodies’ll be like His: They’ll be stars!
Jesus is the Earth’s Sun
And He’s orbited gloriously
By our planet Earth, by Venus, Mars, Mercury,
Pluto, Uranus and Neptune,
Jupiter and her moons,
Saturn and her rings.
And every year science brings
Knowledge of new things.
Back to the point which was previously stated.
Earth orbit’s THE SON
And at every human’s conception, He knows what the date it!
Each birth is recorded by His Holy Astronomy.
Recorded in the stars… ASTROLOGY!
The souls who inherit the Kingdom of God
Live forever with Him
And inhabit the stars.
Our Sun existed before this planet’s birth.
God’s Son’s greatest glory is HIS planet Earth.
And when God moves us into OUR heavenly homes
We’ll each be bedeckoned with planets of our own!!
God specially prepares our new homes to our liking.
Like a mountainous planet for a man who loves hiking
Or a planet with rosebushes spanning its continents
For a girl to whom rosebushes symbolized sentiments.
Like a planet with oceans and a powerful surf
For the one who thinks beaches are ‘Heaven on Earth.’
Some planets have life.
Some planets are still.
It’s all made according to God’s Holy Will.
And the life on our planets will be fascinating to see.
There’ll be water and minerals and biology.
Animals definitely, but no homosapians
For humankind is God’s gift to only His Son.
Yet, as in the Garden of Eden was given to man
Full dominion over animals and plants.
In Heaven we’ll continue this dominion
Over our very own planets!
FOOTNOTES: Revelation:22:16 "I, Jesus, am the Bright Morning Star."
John:8:12 and John:9:5 "I, Jesus, am the Light of the World."
3.) WAKING UP ALIVE
When we are brought to our Heavenly dwelling
We’ll find that we’re seeing!
And hearing!
And smelling!
Thinking and learning.
Remembering talking.
You can almost forget that
You’re no longer walking.
For knowledge and wisdom you’ll be yearning.
You’ll feel no pain though you know that you’re burning.
God fills your mind with the necessary knowledge
Then you’ll know in which direction the Earth is.
You’re light years away from your earthly birthplace.
When you look at the Earth’s Sun
You’re gazing at Christ’s face.
When HE looks at YOU in your star,
You’re shining in a similar way.
4.) ISN’T IT HOT?
You may think to yourself now "Isn’t it Hot?"
Good question. But we’ll explain to you how it is not.
For human bodies are heated comparatively…
Virtual furnaces at ninety-eight-point-six-degrees.
For us upon Earth body temperature feels just fine
For for ninety-eight-point-six was this body designed.
Now the Heavenly Body’s a whole ‘nother story.
A virtual furnace in all it ITS glory!
Immensely hotter than these current bodies or ours.
Because that is the way that God made the stars.
5.) VISION
If you find yourself asking yourself thoughtfully,
"If a star is what I’ll come to be, how will it be possible to see?"
You must first consider human anatomy.
To understand the mechanics of human sight
Is to know it depends upon the presence of light.
The light and the picture to the brain are REFLECTED.
And there IN THE BRAIN is the picture INTERPRETED.
We’ll remember our human eyes as practical but inferior.
But we certainly marveled on Earth at our vision.
This awe sparks the man who’s devoted to religion
To say to people who are agnostics or atheists,
" ‘There is no God’ is only what a fool says.’ "
We’ll cherish our vision for all eternity.
It’ll be so clear and accurate
With advanced periphery.
With choices like focusing, magnifying, straining,
Even ‘shutting our eyes’ should we find ourselves daydreaming.
We can lower our eyes.
We can fully rotate ‘em
In order to see into any direction.
Things otherwise hidden can be and are
Reflected back to our visual interpretation centers
In light cast from other stars.
Try to compare this to our own human sight.
For on Earth as your gaze into someone else’s eyes
You are able to identify the source of the light.
Like a lamp, for example, then if you gaze further
You can see the details.. Like the lamp’s on a bureau.
Look a bit longer and you’re sure to see too
Bric-a-brac on that bureau, and look! You’ll see you!
So in somebody’s eyes you can see things behind you.
Vision in Heaven has this special ability too.
Thus with our powers of magnifying, focusing
We’re able to see anything, everything.
Like we can see any planet that’s orbiting us.
To see the details we simply have to focus.
We can look upon the faces of neighbors and friends.
And our visual abilities forever expand.
Earth’s newborns can’t see much for the first week.
As we’ll enter Heaven with a visual immaturity.
But we’re curious by nature and we’re able to see more.
And in Heaven, as on Earth, does our vision mature.
It’s an ongoing process.. Eyes in Heaven can’t grow old.
But stronger with every new sight we behold.
Try looking at your eyes in a mirror.. Study the sight.
But use a room with an open window and sunlight.
So look into your eyes and you’ll see a clear view
Of conditions outside
And, again, you’ll see you.
And remember to notice
It’s in living color too!
The reason we ask you to look in the mirror
We want your understanding to become clearer
That our gift of sight in Heaven’s highly superior.
There’ll be unlimited ability to magnify and explore.
Eyes will function like x-rays… Or
They’ll work like great telescopes if we choose.
Or work like electron microscopes too.
Eternal choices are ours to be made
As to what we’ll examine in the course of a day.
We’ll be able to alter the view and the hue
BY switching to another ‘optic lense’ if we choose.
Now, of course, these ‘lenses’ aren’t in frames…
They’re part of the might of our Heavenly brains.
Some people like Yoko or Jackie Onassis
In Heaven continue to see through ‘sunglasses.’
Thrill at the thought! Visual accommodation
In Heaven will know no limitation.
Remember it will be total peripheral vision
Via the Heavenly Central System.
It’s actually like a bird’s eye view
Designed by God especially for you.
With choices like viewing the galaxies through prisms.
With choices like dimming or highlighting brilliance.
Like using the physics of thousands of mirrors
To see to the universe’s near edges.
God will never cease to create and give life.
So the universe IS infinite.
It could almost blow your mind
To think that space ISN’T finite.
In conclusion we ask you to think about this…
You’re likely to find on your planets
Different precious and semi-precious
Gems and mineral deposits.
Imagine for yourself how things will be.
They’ll be absolutely HEAVENLY.
You will be able to clearly see every s-solar s-system.
Everyone’s planets truly flatter them.
You can casually, intensely, or never even explore them.
Your nearest star neighbor is light years away.
The vast difference is insignificant..
We all need some space.
Stars are God’s perfectly spaced congregation.
You’re next question may be "What about communication?"
We’ll explain that next.. But this song has one more line:
NO ONE enters heaven dear, mute or blind.
Earth’s handicaps are left forever behind.
6.) COMMUNICATE
In Heaven how we’ll hear and speak
Is basically VIA TELEPATHY.
For from Earth we pray to God, Christ, to saints.
It doesn’t matter is the prayer’s silent, loud or faint.
We’ve faith that we’re relaying
The prayers that we are saying.
From Earth and in Heaven any message we want sent
Is received by the person for whom it was meant.
Communication in Heaven includes a sixth sense.
That God hears prayers from Earth from us we trust.
We also trust that God knows us.
So in Heaven prayers are heard
As if they were the spoken word.
And the speed of telepathy leaves the speed of light in the cosmic dust.
It’s actually instantaneous.
In Heaven you’ll still have a mind of your own.
You can converse with God.
You can think alone.
You can talk to the other souls, to Christ and to God.
Incidentally, God is also a star.
But, O My God! God’s the most glorious Star!
In a following song we’ll elaborate
About seeing God face to face.
But for that discussion we’re going to wait
This topic was communicate.
7.) AGNOSTIC ASTRONOMER
Agnostic astronomers may say in debate
"This new theory isn’t so great.
For science has witnessed the death of a star."
Ironic this shows their partial belief..
They question the DEATH of a star..
NOT ITS LIFE.
They hesitate to accept this peace-giving theory
Because they fear the star’s gonna die.
Well, when a star with a soul starts to fade or explode
The person who’s occupying it certainly knows.
He’s anticipated this event happily.
Along with his friends, God and family.
It will be
His Heavenly
Diamond Jubilee!
Astronomy records what the date is
When God’s Holy Will’s that that soul’s RELOCATED!
Then when the supernova occurs
The soul will embark on another cosmic voyage.
Déjà vu is intensely felt.
And the individual is likely to say to himself,
"I’ve traveled before in this same fashion
When I passed on from Earth and came into Heaven."
When upon his death he realized he
Was a soul without a body
Yet he continued to see!
And God brought him into eternity.
Supernova is time to relocate.
The change of scenery will be great.
So closed is the Agnostic Astronomer’s debate.
So a supernova results in a soul renewed.
And yes he’ll feel déjà vu..
At the moment of his re-conception
The soul will feel intense emotion.
He’ll know he’s before felt this way.
When he slipped into his FIRST star.
And then he feels it today.
The day of his FIRST supernova.
For we ARE talking about ETERNAL LIFE.
So in the course of eternity
Every soul will eventually
Inhabit and infinite number or stars.. Really!
That includes God and Jesus you see.
See at the time of our earthly deaths
We take our minds and souls with us.
The soul leaves the body and
IT HAS MASS!
Weight loss at the moment of human death’s
Approximately two ounces.
We leave behind a human corpse.
But not ourselves, of course.
Then we’ll come to understand
That our memory banks can really expand..
We’ll remember being human infants.
We’ll recall every day of our lives… Every instant.
So we can even recall intrauterine existence.
And our memory banks will continue to collect
Data forever. Please reflect..
On Earth we utilize perhaps ten percent
Of our achievable intelligence.
But the man how inherits eternity
Begins to achieve a higher degree
Of his brain’s ability.
But we’ll never reach one-hundred-per-cent
Of our achievable intelligence
Because a brain’s ability
IS relatively infinite.
8.) DADDY’S DEBATE
They thought it over when they read ‘XILLION.’
They were disappointed, disillusioned.
Then they said, "We’ve always felt
Heave’s the union of body and soul.
We want to continue to believe
In the eternal union of soul and body..
That after the time we must spend in Purgatory
God will give us back our human bodies.
After all, when we recite the Apostles’ Creed
WE state our belief in the resurrection of the body."
Well, Dads, (and Moms)
Your faith’s already so strong.
To you it might matter not
The scoop that "Xillion’s" got.
We’re reaching out
To those who doubt.
And to those who’d like to really know
Precisely what Heaven’s all about.
Getting on with "Daddys’ Debate"
We’ve all heard of the Judgement Day.
It’s actually at the time of death
When a person realizes FOR HIMSELF
Whether he’s going to Heaven of going to Hell.
And if it’s Heaven he deserves
He begins the cosmic voyage
In prayerful union with God.
There’s no ‘pit stop.’
In some ‘Limbo’ spot.
Purgatory’s just a concept.
We don’t claim to know
Just how long the voyage takes.
But we know the soul’s
Regretting his past mistakes.
God forgives him but his guilt
Cannot help but sometimes being felt.
Purgatory happens ‘in your head’
If you go to Heaven with regrets.
We’re taught in both Old and New Testament
That God’s Son existed before He was sent.
Jesus Himself said "I am both David’s root AND his descendant."
So what God created first
Was the universe.
Then He gave birth to a special Son.
Naturally He gave many planets to Him.
Our Earth is one of them.
And Jesus was quite content
To sit back and observe
The process of evolution on Earth
He’ll always remember the day when
Was the appearance of God’s first human.
The human body IS in God’s likeness
‘Cause that ‘s the body Jesus took, and liked it!
And the soon-to-be-occupied
Celestial bodies
In the Eternal Kingdom
Are likewise in God’s Image.
In God’s Image and Likeness
Although all stars differ in beauty and brightness.
From the day that God made man
Jesus understood that HE too was human.
We watched the populations rise.
Preferred when man acted civilized.
God the Father had the Holy Plan
That His Son leave Heaven to become a man.
So Jesus left His Star to be
Conceived by the beautiful Virgin Mary.
After His death on Earth He would return to Heaven.
But He’d return to Earth and then
He’s return to Heaven again.
He could go back and forth, back and forth.
From Earth to star.. From star to Earth.
IF Jesus could visit one of His planets
We may be able to visit some our ours.
When we live in Heaven as shining stars.
Perhaps like after some million decades
Plans for a family reunion are made.
It will be held at some designate place
A planet. It will last about forty days.
Each human body to be temporarily occupied
Is a duplicate of the one you had shortly before you died.
Created by the miracle of the genetic code and God’s mighty might.
One family may go on a ski vacation.
God may pop in on the occasion.
Perhaps He’ll appear as a Burning Bush.
The reunion is prepared especially for us.
Jesus is sure to be a guest.
He may appear to break the bread.
So if Jesus could do it
So may we!!
We’d simultaneously make and relive history
When we get together with our family.
It doesn’t happen frequently
At lest that ‘s what we think.
Perhaps to celebrate and remember
The supernova of a family member.
If so, when the supernova
Celebration’s over
Everyone will depart.. HE’s taken to his new star.
Everyone else returns to their own star.
All bringing wonderful new memories thar.
FOOTNOTE: Revelation:22:16 "I, Jesus, am both David’s root and his descendant."
9.) TIME
Here we’ll discuss the passage of time.
In Heaven we are certain to find
Time is measure in Earth Years and Light (years.)
Times’ measured in both Light Years and Earth Years.
Earth’s circadian rhythms don’t disappear.
Earth’s chronology remains in us deeply inbred.
This in Heaven in case we don’t notice
The passage of some decade
When we stop to think about it
We can realize what the date is…
It’s so and so years A.D.
The reason we can forget what the date is:
We could become so deeply absorbed and elated
When we’re basking in the majesty of all that God’s created.
Time in Heaven does have true significance…
To time there will always be a reference.
There will always be the future, past, and present.
Do you remember when you were in grammar school
You learned the ‘You-can’t-divide-any-number-by-zero’ rule?
‘XILLION’ is a new numerical concept
Of how many years is infinite.
By any number you cannot multiply it.
Three is no number you can add to it.
Can’t square it.. Can’t add to it googolplex.
Yes Xillion is a numerical concept
Of How many years is infinite.
Forever and ever and ever and ever
And ever and ever and ever and ever
Forever and forever and forever and forever…
It can be errie to think about FOREVER.
A Xillion Years is a way to conceive it.
Life After Death… Believe it!
10.) CROWN OF STARS
Anyone who’s studied catechism
Has heard of Mary’s bodily Ascension.
Both she and her Son were witnessed
Rising into Heaven bodies intact.
The idea was to make a Holy impression
Upon witnesses not in the Era of Modern Man.
At a certain point while rising through the atmosphere
Their souls left their bodies, the bodies burned, ashes appeared.
The ashes settled upon the below hemisphere.
Mary’s Divine Son Jesus was witnessed
Rising up into the sky.
When His Soul slipped pt of His Body,
His body was age thirty-three.
He traveled only a short distance
Before His soul reentered that star of His
Where today still He is.
Mary is said to be ‘crowned’ by twelve stars.
We think we know what those stars are.
Mary’s crown of stars is really stars!
She is hailed as Modern Man’s Mother.
And her Solar System’s ordered like no other.
While most galaxies appear to be so scattered,
Mary’s throne is amazingly ordered.
Remember what we said in a preceeding song
About Jesus’ ability to go ‘back and forth?’
We presenting further evidence here
For many times during the years A.D.
Mary has appeared on Earth
Her message "Pray for Peace."
Now think of the story of Fatima..
In order to appear here
Mary had to leave her star!
11.) VISIONS
Amongst ourselves we’ve had discussions
About the stars’ significance.
"Xillion" brings us happiness.
We find ourselves with thoughts from time to time
About what possessing planets will be like.
We’ve dreamed of some great ones.
We’ve had meaningful visions.
And here we’d like to share some.
Jill says she’s had both visions and dreams
Of a planet of rosebushes
Only the bushes are trees.
Sigred says that she is sure
That God will give her what she saw.
The planet of her dreams is so gigantic
She refers to it as her sunflower planet.
On this botanical planet the sunflowers are
Much taller and stronger than the ones on Earth were.
There’s billions of them and yet everyone’s perfect.
Still, not unlike snowflakes, everyone’s different.
Every sunflower’s face is lifted unto her
As she shines on them warmly as their star.
You have to give Siggy credit
For being able to share thoughts so intimate.
She bravely confides
She feels she provides
Her flowers’ light for photosynthesis.
Therese said she saw an absolute gem.
From her star she saw
What appeared to be a diamond.
She had to focus a bit to see
The details of this planet’s awesome beauty.
It was a planet about the size of Earth
But its coloring is entirely different.
This planet in fact is almost transparent.
Most of it’s surface is ocean.. About 90 percent.
The ocean’s floor is green tinged glass
With an occasional thin opal patch.
In the depths of the water Terry says she can see
What appears a link between zoo ‘n’ biology.
A form of life as big as a whale.
It has the shape of a whale as well.
Though much larger, they remind her of the neons she’s adore
As a child on Earth in the tropical fish store.
These enormous ‘neons’ move slowly ‘cross the seas
Bringing Therese much contentment and peace.
The entire thing
Is just so sparkling
It’s no wonder when she looks
It’s first a glare she sees.
Greg says he has a recurring dream
A planet with so many moons orbiting.
His planet has so many moons he says
Common phenomena’s
Something he loves to witness..
A breathtaking, soul shaking triple eclipse.
Robyn said she’d like to get
A plain red rock planet.
So whenever she admires it
She feels she’s ‘wearing’ her birthstone garnet.
When we asked her ‘Why rock and not garnet?’ she said
She doesn’t feel she deserves such a rich gift.
Her humility is beautiful.
Margaret closed her eyes
And saw her planet of low tides.
The sandbars shifted from time to time.
She saw in the water what appeared to be shells.
She calls them God’s houses of miracles.
She said she had to say to herself,
"They look like unicorn horns right down to the details of the spirals."
The shells’ texture is bone
And there’s a feeling in the wind
That one day will evolve here
A species of unicorn.
If you were able to have an opinion
As to the kinds of planets you’d like in your dominion,
What kinds of planets would you tell God you’d like to have?
If you can formulate some sort of idea
We’d like to make it clear
We’re not certain to find exactly that there.
But the likelihood that it will be so is (pause) fair.
12.) TWO OUNCES
There is currently much research into the subject of dying
And the subject of death.
One study that particularly interested us
Determined that upon the moment of death
There is a measurable weight loss!
Volunteer terminal patients gave their informed consents
To make a scale their deathbeds.
The scales were quite accurate
And at the moment of each death
The doctors saw
The weight loss was
Drastic.
Approximately two ounces.
To us this indicates
That two ounces is an average soul’s weight.
What the soul first sees is the place of his death.
(Like Jesus first saw the crucifix.)
The soul knows its fate.
He sees the light.
And then begins the cosmic flight.
13.) SCALE MODEL
Scientists draw generalized scale models
Of the structure of atoms
Of the structure of cells.
We would like to do the same.
Draw a graspable image of the Heavenly Brain.
The star is the soul’s temple.
The Central Nervous System is (pause) central.
The CNS has the similar border
As the soul had during the cosmic voyage.
The human brain has the shape of the skull.
The heavenly brain has the shape of the individual.
A male soul will always be a man.
A female soul will always be woman.
Righties’ll always feel the strength of the right hand/
Light-haired ones will always feel blond.
Musicians will always have a song.
14.) EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS
Some young men asked us,
"In God’s Heaven is there sex?
Is there marriage?"
The answer is affirmative.
Feelings of love, warmth, even climaxes
Come to you in Heaven if that’s where your mind is.
Like a husband in Heaven may be speaking to his wife Reminiscing over their married life.
He reflects on a sexual memory’s meaning
And virtually feels the very same feeling.
"Did you feel it, my Dear?" he asks
And she winks.
It definitely happens on their anniversaries.
Whatever is a person’s marital status at that time of death
Remains the marital status.
Thus spouses will be spouses for eternity.
As families forever are family.
And if a person enters Heaven single he
Is not deprived of his sexuality.
Any and every emotion can be felt
Including the ones that are physical!
Examples are happiness, gratitude, peace…
Maybe an occasional moment of grief
(Like news of damnation.)
Even feelings of relief.
Even palpitations!
15.) STAR OF BETHLEHEM
During Heaven we can ‘study-up-on’
Any aspect of history we’re interested in.
We’re able to utilize
Another soul’s memories.
The data lets us visualize
Anything that soul can see.
For example: The Star of Bethlehem.
Did you ever wish you’d been living then?
In Heaven you can ‘plug into’ someone’s memory.
Thus a new memory you’ll have to keep…
So you can witness how very exciting
It was to witness the nightly sighting.
God will feed us further knowledge
If we desire regarding the star’s significance
Like how did the phenomena happen to pass?
Yes we can have eyes for
How anyone saw the Bethlehem Star
Or anything else for that matter.
16.) THE MAN IN THE MOON
Optical illusions really aren’t so surprising
There’s some reality to these things.
Were you ever at a funeral where
You and others could almost swear
The deceased chest’s falling and rising?
Did you know that Earth’s infants and newborn babes
Are most interested in gazing at a human face?
On a clear night on Earth when the moon’s full and bright
There’s the ‘Man-in-the-Moon.’
We’ve all seen the guy.
When you live as a star in Heaven
And you cast your sight upon others
It’s by their faces you recognize them.
Especially your mother’s!
17.) THE REVELATION
In ‘Communicate’ we mentioned that God Himself is a star.
Now His Star is in a specific place.
And depending on where we are in space.
He’s North, East, South or West of us.
The Revelation read you must.
It’s the last chapter of the New Testament.
Please take special interest
To these few lines we’ll proceed to list:
Lines One and Two in Chapter Eleven.
And Revelation Chapter Twenty-One
Read Line Ten till the chapter’s end.
Revelation: Eleven: One
Refers to the Alter of the Lord.
The Alter’s Outter Court
Cannot be measured because
It has been given to the nations.
(The ‘nations’ means us, of course.)
The reason immeasurable the outer court
Is infinite is what centers around God.
God is the Holy Center of the Universe.
In Revelation: Twenty-One:Ten
John shares with us his holy vision
Of actually seeing God in Heaven.
He presents it in a ‘mind-boggler.’
"The Alter is in a cube’s FORM
For its height is
Exactly the same as
Its other dimensions..
On each side there are three gates.
North, South, West and East.
We’ve given an illustration..
The simplest of art.
For we figure that
A star’s a star’s a star.
With actual ‘points.’
We figure there are twelve.
This composition enables stars to sparkle.
We’ve over simplified
But really
It’s nearly
In black and white.
We will all become stars when we die.
18.) WORLD PEACE BEFORE TWO THOUSAND TWENTY ONE
LET THE SUN SHINE DOWN. DOWN ON YOU. RIGHT THROUGH THE POURING RAIN. WE KNOW IT CAN BE DONE:
WORLD PEACE BEFORE TWO-THOUSAND-TWENTY-ONE!!
EARTH'S RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS TENSIONS ESCALATE EACH DAY..
VIOLENCE AND TERRORISM.. EVERYONE IS PREY..
DEMOCRACY GONE MAD VERSUS NO HUMAN RIGHTS AT ALL..
WE MUST ALL WORK FOR PEACE NOW OR THE HUMAN RACE WILL FALL.
DISEASES GROWING STRONGER WHILE MORALITY JUST WON'T KEEP..
POLLUTE THE SKIES, RAPE THE EARTH.. THE PRICE IS GETTING STEEP.
OPPRESSION IN THE CITIES WHILE THE RICH ENJOY THEIR GREED
A DRIVE BY SHOOTING TAKES A LIFE, NOW SEE THE CHILD BLEED..
(CHORUS) PEOPLE PUT YOUR HEADS TOGETHER, THIS MESSAGE NOW MUST BE SENT..
THE CRIES OF WAR, PAIN, OPPRESSION AND CORRUPTION ALL MUST COME TO AN END
SO LET THE SUN SHINE DOWN UPON YOU RIGHT THROUGH THE POURING RAIN..
WE KNOW IT CAN BE DONE... WORLD PEACE BEFORE TWO THOUSAND TWENTY ONE.
POLITICAL ATTENTION FEEDS THE SYMPTOMS NOT THE CURE
WHILE CITIZENS GO HOMELESS AND THE WORKERS BECOME THE POOR.
COUNTRIES IN DISAGREEMENT WHILE THE INNOCENT SHED THEIR LIVES.
THESE NATURAL DISASTERS SHOULD BE OPENING OUR EYES!
(repeat chorus)
NOW TAKE A LOOK AROUND AT WHAT'S RIGHT FROM WHAT'S WRONG.
WE'VE GOT TO KEEP BELIEVING AND WE'VE GOT TO BE STRONG!
(repeat chorus)
(THE END.)
