Poem: A Forest of Trees

A Forest of Trees

by Russell Kelfer

(There is no audio for this poem.)

A forest of trees,
Clothed gently in green;
Towering giants,
Majestically seen.

As they rise to the heavens,
In awesome array,
They quietly speak
Of a soon coming day,

When we who believe,
At the grand trumpet’s ring,
Will rise to the heavens
Denying death’s sting.

Up, up into glory,
We’ll fly through the skies
As into His presence,
God’s children will rise.

Up, up we will fly,
What vic’try, what joy,
Climbing on wings
His grace we’ll employ.

That forest of trees
Is a portrait sublime,
Of the church being raptured
In God’s perfect time.
