Poem - Darkness is Covering the Earth



Darkness is Covering the Earth
by Walli Zamorano

Gross darkness is covering the earth,
the nations are filled with pride;
God's judgment will soon come on the world,
there will be no place for men to hide

Behold, there is a group of people,
who will not suffer this coming plight,
for they are walking in the Light,
they are children of the day not of the night.

Woe to all who turn away from God,
although the truth they have been taught.
In the devil's trap they will be caught
for all the evil deeds they've wrought.

For all who reject God's instruction
it will be too late!
Hell will open wide its gate.
Their end will be everlasting destruction.

O what a difference there will be,
in the camp of the redeemed,
for all who have believed
the gift of Salvation have received.

They are the Saints, the Remnant, the Church,
and in their midst this song will be heard:
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice everyone
the Glory of the Lord has come!

Their eyes are fixed upon the sky,
for they know, that they know,
their redemption is drawing nigh
and they will see Jesus
coming in the clouds up high!

Whoever you are, near or far,
if you are not sure what your future holds
there is still time to come into God's fold.
Repent and call on Jesus Name
and you too will be saved!


For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

Isaiah 60:2



Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the
sky so that darkness will spread over Egypt--darkness that can be felt."

I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create
disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things.

is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie
and do not live by the truth.

with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all
sin. 1John 1:5-7

Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and you,
because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.

blinded him. 1 John 2:8-11
