The Philadelphian Church

by Matthew Hart
(Garden City Michigan)

Why is it that you are failing to hear
something that the Spirit is making quite clear
a trumpet is being sounded throughout the land
it?s time for his people to make their stand
are you ready for the gathering of the bride
in whose kingdom do you really reside
it?s time to lay the weight of sin down
you must be free and dance around
oh the holy treasures that you will unearth
as you allow the spirit of the Lord to give birth
what a time of joy, ecstasy and delight
as he floods you with his glorious light
oh church of Philadelphia where are you
for the Lord is calling from near and far
no matter who or where you are!
