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.
