“I will utterly sweep away everything
from the face of the earth,” declares the LORD.
Zephaniah 1:2
Things seem outrageously
bad today;
God has promised He will utterly
sweep it all away.
A day of justice ultimately
will fall;
God will finally, eventually
end it all.
A divine broom furiously
will sweep
the debris of sin judiciously
cleansed deep.
A hand of judgment powerfully
will not relent
and all humankind will meekly
keep silent!
Everything will be purged, righteously
swept through;
As fires burn, the heavens and earth freshly
made new.
On that day, Jesus victoriously —
broom in hand
wields sword and scepter simultaneously
over all the land.
Come now Lord Jesus quickly
to reign!
Over us, judge and cleanse completely
all our sin and pain.
Old creation groans, weary and deathly,
longing for this day
when Jesus, You deliver us completely —
sweep the old stuff away!
