Suddenly!

Is the word the Lord clearly spoke to me today
I studied the scriptures to see what they say
About the word suddenly and its' meaning
Give me wisdom, O Lord, upon you I am leaning

Sudden means an unexpected event marked by haste
Are you telling me, O Lord, I don't have time to waste
I must tell others about your wonderful saving grace
Before they leave suddenly to meet you face to face

Suddenly, you spoke to Moses your chosen one
And assured him victory over pharaoh would be won
Suddenly a sound from heaven came as a mighty wind
And upon all gathered the Holy Ghost did descend

Paul and Silas were singing and there was an earthquake
Suddenly how that old jail did quiver and shake
You sent a sudden word of deliverance and set them free
You did it for them and you can do it for me

As I toil along in this wearisome world below
Working for you as your precious seeds I do sow
Suddenly today the word you may strongly speak
And give me extra strength as I grow feeble and weak

Suddenly is a great word that my ears did plainly hear
Events in this world tells me that Jesus' coming is near
Suddenly one day God will speak to Jesus his son
And say go get your children, it is finished and done
