| They say that the time of the prophets has come to an end
That men having dreams & visions & revelations is all pretend They say that no longer does the Spirit of God cause a man to speak They say that no one can cast out demons or perform miraculous feats.
But the Father would say, to look to His Son Was He not the most gifted? Was He not the most prophetic one? And did He not say, "Greater things than this shall ye do?" To preach, pray and baptize just names a few
What other things was He speaking of that day? What were the things that the Scriptures do say? They shall cast out devils And speak with new tongues By the Word of the Father In the Name of His Son They shall heal the sick And raise the dead Doing signs & wonders is what He said
And so will we choose to believe His words? Or believe like some others His power has left the earth? We know that His prophets shall live again For in Revelation two prophets are seen again Yet men in their unbelief have them killed and stoned But God resurrects them; the Hall of Martyrs shall be their home So, let their words and anointings be judged by Our King For all men don't see as the Spirit does see And at the end of all time What shall it matter what title was thine Of Apostle, Pastor, Prophet or King A Wiseman, Gifted One or Revelator of things
What shall matter then is this: That they brought sight to the blind Restored life to the lifeless and healings to mankind They foretold the events of nations and kings Speaking words of divine wisdom and revelations of dreams And in the many touched by their words and their hands God's gifts of the Spirit were delivered unto man. And if you would ask them they would only say They wish to follow the path of the Master And to walk in His ways For when they do leave this world for a better place All they long for is to see the Lord Jesus' face Though men may call them lunatics and crazies Dreamers and soothsayers, faith healers and fakes They know that in the end it's what the Lord does say of them Which will only matter then For on that day when old things shall pass away And God does make the earth brand new Their hearts cry shall be for all of Eternity That the Master does call them His Friends They say that the time of the prophets has come to an endThey say that men being prophets is all just pretend; But the Father would say "My Prophets have always been here with men From the beginning of time and down to the end." And so, may we stand with the Father this day and say, "These men are His Prophets, for they walk in His ways! May we call them by name and welcome them home; May they no longer be outcasts and wanderers Without a place of their own."
May we link arms with them this day and reply "These men are our brothers and for them we'll die! We here and now accept their visions and dreams, Their knowings and foretellings and revelations of things. We desire this day to be one who's named among men As a friend of the prophets on whom they can depend."
And at the end of all time When the Lord does ask of how we spent out lifetime, May we not have to hang our head and say "We despised your men and servants For we knew not they were your anointed ones of our day."
But may we be able To honestly answer and give this reply "These men were our friends And we fought by their sides For we knew them to be of Christ, Our Lord and King, As we saw in them His smile, His love and tender mercy.
We knew they were called by Our Lord to be His very own, For His love was in their hearts And His eyes shone in their own. We welcomed them into the family And treasured their gifts as being sent by Our King; We received their words of wisdom Their many visions and their dreams In our hearts we chose to honor them By the love and thanks we gave as offerings."
For when all this life is over And when all has been done and said May we echo the Words of the Master, Welcome home, My dearly loved friends.
