Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: When Will You Come?

Oh my Lord – When will You come? Will I be found, before my earthly life is done? Will I experience Your Resurrection Power and observe how sin You have conquered & devoured? It’s a win-win scenario, for me, in any case – As I long to see Your radiance, revealed at Heaven’s pace. To enter Your gates with humble willingness is real, knowing that I’m clothed by Your Righteousness. When will You come? Will I be found, before Death has finally succumbed? Although Your timetable has not bee… Continue
