Wear Your Love Like Heaven

According to man named Harold Camping the rapture and the beginning of end times is tomorrow. Rapture is the ascension of true Christians into heaven while non-believers stay on Earth to suffer five months of plagues, earthquakes, wars, and famines before the earth is finally destroyed. One billion true believers are expected to escape the horrors that are about to descend on us. That should make driving to work on the freeways in the larger cities a lot easier on Monday.

This doomsday scenario would be very amusing if it wasn't so hard on the families that have members who are non-believers. The New York Times has this article in today's paper about a family in Middletown, Maryland with parents who have believed for the last two years that the rapture is tomorrow. This belief has caused them to stop planning for the future, which has affected their children in many ways.

Tomorrow, when the true believers find themselves earth bound with no sign that the end times has begun they are going to be a confused and disappointed bunch of people. Try not to ridicule them. Instead wear your love like heaven and show them what true Christianity is all about.

Fill me with song
Allah, kiss me once more

Lord, kiss me once more
Fill me with song
Allah, kiss me once more

Wear my love like heaven
(Wear my love like)
Wear my love like heaven

Thank you!!!  I love this song!!!!!  Donovan was/is a great fav of mine!!!  And I think you make an excellent point on the Rapture.  The only question in my poor damaged brain is:  Why sre all the uber-Christians on the Reckless Right still talkling about 2012?  Hedging their bets?

I've wondered about that myself as the 2012 prophecy is supposedly based on Mayan science and religious beliefs.

I only remember the chorus for this song.  I'm happy to read the verses.  Of course, my memory of this song is from a commercial for perfume.  Yardley of London, maybe?  Baby Soft perfume?  

And as for the rapture... well, I'm going to live my tomorrow doing what I like to do on Saturdays: keeping busy, taking joy in my surroundings.  If God wants me, He'll know where to find me.

Just like Santa! ;)

<span>I remember that commercial , too, but I think it was for Love's Lemon Scent.   I also had the Donovan's Greatest Hits album and this was one of the songs on it.

Harold Camping sounds like some new teenage send-up of the Neighbours soap star to me...

33 minutes to go here.  I'm not very worried, it has to be said :)
