Psalm 51:1-2
Miserere mei, Deus: secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.
Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam.
Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me.
Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper.

Psalm 51:1-2
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. ... Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Miserere Mei Deus

Silence..

In a moment, like a thief in the night
The trumpet will sound, and we'll take flight
Caught up together to meet Christ in the air
As He calls His bride to leave this world of care

The rapture will start this final chapter
Taking us home before the darkness after
But it's just the beginning of the play
For Christ's return in majesty one day

After we're gone, the time of trial remains
Seven years of God's judgment and Satan's reign
The Antichrist will rise with his deceitful lies
Until the King of Kings returns from the skies

A voice like a trumpet ringing out with power
Will announce the coming of the Lord's glorious hour
With the saints and the angels by His side
He'll strike down the beast in his arrogant pride

The rapture was just the opening scene
But the Second Coming is the climactic dream
When Christ takes His throne for a thousand-year reign
And evil is vanquished, His Kingdom will reign

From the departure to the royal arrival
Every event has its purpose and trial
The rapture's a rescue, the Second's a battle
As the King takes His place with His heavenly gavel

The rapture will start this final chapter...
Taking us home before the darkness after
But it's just the beginning of the play
For Christ's return in majesty one day

The rapture was just the opening scene
But the Second Coming is the climactic dream
When Christ takes His throne for a thousand-year reign
And evil is vanquished, His Kingdom will reign

The rapture was just the opening scene
But the Second Coming is the climactic dream
When Christ takes His throne for a thousand-year reign
And evil is vanquished, His Kingdom will reign

Christ's return brings hope to cope
No matter the darkness that looms
Our Savior has triumphed, His victory assured
Joy replaces all fear and gloom

So be confident, steadfast, at peace
No dread of what's coming should seize
The rapture's reunion with Jesus so bright
The Second Coming, sin's curse it will cease

From the departure to the royal arrival
Every event has its purpose and trial
The rapture's a rescue, the Second's a battle
As the King takes His place with His heavenly gavel

The rapture will start this final chapter...
Taking us home before the darkness after
But it's just the beginning of the play
When Christ takes His throne for a thousand-year reign
And evil is vanquished, His Kingdom will reign

From the departure to the royal arrival
Every event has its purpose and trial
The rapture's a rescue, the Second's a battle
As the King takes His place with His heavenly gavel

The rapture will start this final chapter...
Taking us home before the darkness after
But it's just the beginning of the play
For Christ's return in majesty one day

The rapture was just the opening scene
But the Second Coming is the climactic dream
When Christ takes His throne for a thousand-year reign
And evil is vanquished, His Kingdom will reign

Rapture (Sampler)

Silence deafening, a weight to bear
Bury the pain, hide it there
But melodies stirred, a whisper faint
Giving voice to the child who felt blamed

Each note a brushstroke, repainting worth
Harmonies stitching the fragments unfold
Rhythms that danced with pain inside
Whispering "You're enough" with delicious bite
And I wrote, and I sang through the sorrow
Composing a life where I didn't have to borrow


Love from within, my music became
The solace I craved, the balm for my shame
And I wrote, and I sang through the sorrow
Composing a life where I didn't have to throw 
away myself, just because they said
words that were condemning in my head

Love from within, my music became
The solace I craved, the balm for my shame
And I wrote, and I sang through the sorrow
Composing a life where I didn't have to throw
away myself, just because they said
words that were condemning in my head

Then ground fell from under my feet
Heart emptied, a hiding seed
Would I be left  once more?

Afraid to trust the light I found before
The unknown ahead felt cold, felt stark
As if the path had plunged into dark

But still I wrote, still I sang
My music, the truth my soul desperately danced

Heart emptied, a hiding seed
Would I be left  once more?
Afraid to trust the light I found before
The unknown ahead felt cold, felt stark
As if the path had plunged into dark
But still I wrote, still I sang
My music, the truth my soul desperately danced

Once faint whispers now a roaring flood
Drowning the dead rose buds
The melodies soared, breaking chains of dismay
As I planned brand new days
Where my voice echoed strong, no longer oppressed
In the symphony of healing 
I now flow with friends
that love me, and 
I in return
Hope kindled
Life seems liveable

In the symphony of healing 
I now flow with friends
that love me, and 
I in return
Hope kindled
Life seems liveable

Love from others, 'cause my music became
The solace I craved, the balm for my shame


The melodies soared, breaking chains of dismay
As I planned brand new days
Where my voice echoed strong, no longer oppressed
In the symphony of healing 
I now flow with friends
that love me, and 
I in return
Hope kindled
