In the presence of Jesus Christ,
Who lives within was sacrificed;
Soon to judge the living and dead,
On which pathway that you did tread.
Jesus Christ will come soon to rule,
Making enemies His footstool;
So be ready to spread the Word,
Until everyone has heard.
Whether or not the time is right,
Everyone must see the light;
A light that is so bright and pure,
Seen entering the narrow door.
Point out errors and warn people,
Read and understand the Gospel;
Be patient and encourage them,
Knowing that God will not condemn.
For the time will come when people,
Will not listen to the Gospel;
Go astray from what you have taught,
Reverting back to pleasures sought.
They will follow their desire,
But their bones will catch on fire;
As they surround themselves with those,
Who have chosen strange bed fellows.
Teachers tell what they want to hear,
Only about love and not fear;
Their attitude is so uncouth,
Declines to listen to the truth.
But you have to keep a clear head,
And keep it spiritually fed;
Endure suffering and devote,
Adhering to what the Lord wrote.
My life is closer to the end,
And consider you as my friend;
Because I have fought the good fight,
And prepared to enter the light.
