Revelation 5:13 & 14; 6:1-9
"And every creature which is in heaven,
And on the earth, and under the earth,
And such as are in the sea, and all that are
In them, heard I saying,
'Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power,
Be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne,
And unto the Lamb for ever and ever.'
And the four beasts said, 'Amen.'
And the four and twenty elders fell down
And worshipped Him that liveth
Forever and ever.
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals,
And I heard, as it were the noise of thunder,
One of the four beasts saying, 'Come and see.'
And I saw, and behold a white horse:
And he that sat on him had a bow;
And a crown was given unto him:
And he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
And when He had opened the second seal,
I heard the second beast say, 'Come and see.'
And there went out another horse that was red;
And power was given to him that sat thereon
To take peace from the earth,
And that they should kill one another:
And there was given unto him a great sword.

"And when He had opened the third seal,
I heard the third beast say, 'Come and see.'
And I beheld, and lo a black horse;
And he that sat on him had
A pair of balances in his hand.
And I heard a voice in the midst
Of the four beasts say,
'A measure of wheat for a penny,
And three measures of barley for a penny;
And see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.'
And when He had opened the fourth seal,
I heard the voice of the fourth beast say,
'Come and see.'
And I looked, and behold a pale horse:
And his name that sat on him was Death,
And Hell followed with him.
And power was given unto them
Over the fourth part of the earth,
To kill with sword, and with hunger,
And with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
And when He had opened the fifth seal,
I saw under the altar the souls of them
That were slain for the Word of God,
And for the testimony which they held."
  
No one knows the hour when the Lord will come again,
But as His children, we have nothing to fear.
For He has promised never to leave or forsake us
And has given us the command to watch for His return.
I am so happy that we may never have to go through
The terrible tribulation to come.
For our Lord has made provision for us
To shield us from the destruction that lies ahead.
Let us, as the music suggests,
Sing great Hallelujah's to our King.
For He will return in victory over
The evil that holds us all captive
In one form or another.
Let us, as good Christian soldiers
Follow our Captain and our King.
Let us go forth to the fields today,
And bring in the harvest for our Lord.
The truth is self-evident,
The Word of God is sure and true.
The time is at hand when we must stand
And be counted for our faith,
And trust In Him.
So take heart, dear Brothers and Sisters,
Be strong and be bold;
Be not ashamed of who you are
Nor of Him who saved our souls.
Watch and wait, pray, don't hate.
For we are all His children;
And the work of His hands
All He asks for us to do are
The simple things that He commands.
