Time Is Running Out
Maurice Dyson (Guest Post)
…behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
2 Corinthians 6:2
The great events of history
Reveal a certain trend;
Recorded for posterity,
That all may comprehend.
Despite our rank impiety,
Which brought about the curse,
God did not leave humanity
To go from bad to worse.
When people grew and multiplied
And evil spread abroad,
The grace of God was magnified,
And eight were saved aboard.
Corruption swept the populace;
A man was called and sealed;
His Seed would have the highest place
With many thousands healed.
The one event so glorified
By God in human frame,
Was when the Lord was crucified
And bore our sin and shame.
A great event is imminent:
The Lord is coming soon,
To judge the ones impenitent
When time was opportune.
The Lord has given Maurice Dyson a wonderful ability to take a passage of Scripture – a story, a Biblical character, a principle of truth – and present it in poetic form.
His aim in writing these poems is to teach people about the Lord, and to draw us back into the Scriptures, so that each of us would search out the wonderful things of God.
This poem is from his book 100 Poems of Praise: Christian Poetry to Praise God.
We would like to thank Mr. Dyson for such a lovely poem.

A walking miracle---her spiritual journey began at seven years old, when she was baptized by the late, Pastor K.L. Moore, Jr., of the First Baptist Church in Frankfort, Kentucky, her birthplace. Very thankful for her spiritual upbringing which gave her a strong foundation and a respect for the word of God. Which now affords her the opportunity to share His word with others and testify about His saving her from leukemia.
She is the mother of six, a cancer survivor, pastor, and previous newspaper editor. Has published articles in The Voice In The Wilderness Magazine and a poem published in Great Poems of the Western World. She along with her husband, Elder Bobby Leach, live in Land O Lakes, Florida.
An amazing poem.
