Enoch Walked With God - as sung by Jack Marti

"By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God." Hebrews 11:5

Here's another song by Marilyn Ravina that I have known of since 1986, but never memorized it before, until now. It's a wonderful song about Enoch, the man who walked with God, and was not, for God took him (see Gen. 5:24). He is a type from the antediluvian period, as is Elijah from the post flood era, of those in the final generation who will live to see Christ come and who will not die. We should all strive to be among those who are redeemed and will be alive when Jesus comes! This song speaks to that aspiration.

Enoch walked with God, and God took him.
Enoch walked with God, and God took him.
O Lord, I pray that I might be
Faithful in my humanity,
Clothed with Thy divinity
Able to walk with You, dear Lord,
Like Enoch.

Enoch walked on earth, but it was not his home.
Enoch walked on earth, but he was not alone.
O Lord,...
Able to walk with You, O Lord,
like Enoch.

Enoch walked with God, but when he had a son,
One could say his transformation had begun.
O Lord,....
Able to walk with You, my Lord,
Like Enoch.

Enoch walked beyond the clouds and never died.
He had His friend and Savior always at his side.
O Lord,...
Able to walk with You, Lord,
Just like Enoch

Jesus came to earth and laid His glory down.
So we could go home with Him and wear the crown.
O Lord,...
Able to walk with Jesus
Just like Enoch.

If you choose to give your heart to be God's throne,
You will find in heaven your eternal home.
O Lord,...
Able to walk in heaven
Just like Enoch,
Like Enoch,
Like Jesus.

@barttheanorak Not a problem. The way I put it may have been a little confusing. {:o)

@guitmartiman Sorry, I'd misread your blurb. I stand corrected.

@RainhadoCanto4 That doesn't surprise me, although, my father-in-law was also a devout Catholic, and when he got involved with the Charismatic movement while still a practicing Catholic, he heard a lot about the rapture. He eventually left the Catholic church, but he became an Evangelical, not a Protestant per se. The Catholic church doesn't care so much if you leave the RC church, as long as you don't become a Protestant, and identify her as the beast of Revelation 12 & 13.
