YorkshireYankee Lyr Add: Songs of the Yorkshire Yankee (102* d) RE: Lyr Add: Songs of the Yorkshire Yankee 30 Sep 24


Here's a song I had forgotten about (until it showed up in my fb memories last week), inspired by reading that apparently "The Rapture" was supposed to happen on Sept 24 2017.

AFTER THE RAPTURE
Vikki Appleton Fielden ©Sept 24 2017

After the Rapture, oh won't it be wonderful
After the Rapture, won't it be grand
After the Rapture, oh won't it be heavenly
After the Rapture, we'll all understand


For so many years, I've heard stories of miracles
I know that the chosen will all disappear
The faithful are waiting for Lord Jesus' summoning
And after the Rapture, it'll all become clear

After the Rapture, oh won't it be wonderful
After the Rapture, won't it be grand
After the Rapture, oh won't it be heavenly
After the Rapture, we'll all understand


They say that the endtime will be hell on earth
But I cannot help thinking it won't be that bad
When so many Christian fanatics evaporate
The rest of us left here might not be that sad

After the Rapture, oh won't it be wonderful
After the Rapture, won't it be grand
After the Rapture, oh won't it be heavenly
After the Rapture, we'll all understand


Goodbye Jerry Falwell, so long Oral Roberts
Farewell Billy Graham and all of your kind
The world will be gentler without your lot in it
To stir up the hatred you find so divine

After the Rapture, oh won't it be wonderful
After the Rapture, won't it be grand
After the Rapture, oh won't it be heavenly
After the Rapture, we'll all understand


Imagine the world without fine Christian zealots
The ones who oppress in the Lord Jesus' name
If God should deliver us from sweet Christian malice
Then glory hallelujah! I'll gladly proclaim

After the Rapture, oh won't it be wonderful
After the Rapture, won't it be grand
After the Rapture, oh won't it be heavenly
After the Rapture, we'll all understand


BTW, to my Christian friends: this song is *not* directed at *all* Christians – just the ones who use the excuse of their religion as a stick with which to beat those they disagree with/disapprove of.
