God's Wonderful Railway

God's Wonderful Railway



The earth was bare of civilizations
Sine the Tribulation had consumed the earth
All the people in His Kingdom had avoided the Apocalypse
Including railwaymen who in Him were of worth
The Lord's Paradise was without flaw and decay
Waters and seas were clear and most pure
Distances were great and terrains were in numbers
The disciples of The King colonized and explored
Mills and ironworks were fabricated
Sounds of anvils and forges filled the air
Underground the men found minerals of value
From which great cities were made nothing less than fair
Melted iron was poured into many an ingot
Waterwheels turned to make textiles and flour
Work was plentiful and never unbearable
Now it was time to harness a different power
By the fires stoked with coals metaphorically living
To the waters with which it cleansed the soiled
Giant teakettles with wheels mounted underneath
Were tinkered with to move by the water boiled
A railway was the ticket everyone wanted to travel by
Each dwelling they wished the railway should connect
In the beginning only two little villages
Amongst those the railway was chartered to beset
To carry the goods all across His Kingdom
Taking passengers and parcels wherever they wanted to go
Established under His Kingdom by craftsmen and wrights
The day the line opened the ability of the invention was shown
A great epoch in history had been made
Now God's people had more than only horses
To traverse in comfort His new youthful Kingdom
The railway and the steam engine had not remorses
Soon the railway was open to the public
The farms along the line enormously flourished
Comfort, convenience and marvelous speed
Yet simple was the railway and no one remained impoverished
Every Sunday the railway gave to The Great I Am
The railwaymen gave their appropriate salaries
Less the sum for with themselves they supported
And the company and the served mills and collieries
They would show their great respects on every Sunday
Their offerings were paid with heart and proficiency
The villages did not require the railway
Though it was not working in vain and continued reliably
Was it constituted to by great engineers of the past
Who had built marvels on the earth before?
Had it the come with the great grandfathers of the trade
Whom to the railway their lives contoured?
It may come with great expectations
How the line never faltered to arrive on time
The railwaymen and their work were a modest assortment
They cared not a button for coal dust and grime
The finest railway in all of man's memories
It had not one knowledgable of the technology
This railway won't be built in nor sustained in vain
With God it was insured prosperity
The engine driver was a poet
The guard was a minister of the village church
The fireman was a simple blacksmith
Everyone aboard the line had one thing in search
All of their lives they longed for acceptance
To God's Great Kingdom without ever an end
In His Kingdom all use their talents
Alongside is their work at which they befriend
The railway went on and the fires stayed lit
Driven by people of whom God chose
Forever it will have dry rails and the engines will steam well
God's Wonderful Railway will not ever close
