On Your Guard
No need for anyone to write,
The times when you will see the light;
Just never let it be ignored,
About the return of the Lord.
You know very well of that day,
Just as the Holy Scriptures say;
And it is of my firm belief,
To be in the night like a thief.
When you say it is safe and sound,
Seem to be no problems around;
Destruction will suddenly hit,
Exposing any hypocrite.
There will not be any escape,
While watching the world reshape;
As sudden as the labor pains,
That a pregnant woman obtains.
But if you never do embark,
Or are living within the dark;
Then it will not be a surprise,
Like if a thief to the demise.
So we must not be like a sheep,
Like others being fast asleep;
Instead then we must stay awake,
And preparing for the outbreak.
