Twinkling of An Eye (indietronica synthpop)

(Genre: indietronica synthpop) Mix 1. You won't find the word "rapture" in the Bible. But the ancient scriptures that make up the modern English versions we currently read mentioned a Greek word. That word was ἁρπάζω (harpazō). It roughly translates to "snatch away quickly" or "catch abruptly". In context, it is referring to the catching away of the saints. When the Bridegroom comes to claim His bride. My purpose for this song is to encourage the Bride of Christ in her trials and persecutions. To fan the flames of hope as birth pains spawn all around us. They are coming faster and stronger every day, as birth pains fall on a woman in labor. The world may hate you, bride. But remember it hated Jesus first. Please don't fix your eyes on the darkness now surrounding us, beloved people of God. Fix them on Jesus! Just keep running this race for all your worth, because the finish line is in sight! Remember what Jesus said - look up! For your redemption is drawing nigh. Hold on just a little bit longer - and in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye we will be changed! We shall all be gathered at the wedding supper of the Lamb. With our Beloved forevermore. Lift up your head bride of Christ. Soon we will be going home. Ended up creating two versions of this song. This is version 1 of 2. Which version most effectively communicates the message to you? Can you help me pick the right one? Music and lyrics: C. S. Germany © 2024.

[verse 1]
When the day seems long and home feels far away.
We can feel so alone, caught up in the fray.
We may mourn our loved ones, who’ve passed on before.
But we'll soon reunite with them forevermore.
We will ascend in the air to meet them on high.
No more crying tears, no more saying goodbye.
For the Lord Himself with a loud command
will descend from heaven by His mighty hand.

[verse 2]
Those we’ve lost who sleep in the grave
will rise again on the promise He gave.
No one knows the hour, no one knows the day.
When the Lord will return to take us away.
Some will be left and some will be taken.
And every foundation tested and shaken.
In a flash, in a moment, in the blink of an eye.
We’ll transform into beings that never die.

[chorus]
When the birth pains start coming, lift your head to the sky.
In a flash He will come, the twinkling of an eye.
In a moment, translated! Forever we'll change.
With glorified bodies, nevermore to feel pain.
Those believing in Jesus, though they may die?
Yet shall they live, rising into the sky!
And we who hold fast to our very First Love?
Shall rise to meet them in the clouds up above.
In the twinkling of an eye!
In the twinkling of an eye.

[verse 3]
Lift up one another, don’t give in to despair.
Comfort each other with these words of care.
Since Christ on the cross paid the ultimate cost
We'll soon meet again every soul that we've lost.
Those believing in Jesus, though they may die?
Yet shall they live, rising into the sky.
And we who hold fast to our very First Love?
Shall rise to meet them in the clouds up above.

[verse 4]
As a good Jewish bridegroom, Christ is building a house.
He's preparing a place for His eternal spouse.
For He said "If I go and prepare you a place
I will come back to get you and we'll be face to face."
He said "You know the way to the place I am going.
By my life and my words the path I am showing.
For I am the truth, the life and the way.
No one comes to the Father but through me, I say."

CHORUS

[bridge]
With the voice of the archangel and God's trumpet call
Jesus gathers his bride from the four winds that squall.
Though now mortal, then we'll gain immortality.
And then death shall be swallowed in sweet victory.
Then we God's people shall triumphantly sing
"Oh death, where's your victory? Where is your sting?"
God's great city coming down as a bride adorned
for her Husband filled with the redeemed and reborn.
As we gather for the wedding of God's holy Lamb
in the presence of angels and the great I Am.

CHORUS

[Outro]
So look up to the sky for the day's drawing near.
When He'll mend every heart and wipe every tear.
Just a bit longer on this planet alone
till we'll all be together. Till we're finally home.
