The Ticking Clock


II Peter 3:9 & 10

The Lord is not slack to keep His promise,
As you already know by now He is serious;
He is patient with us showing disrespect,
No desire of anyone to perish or neglect;
Rather a chance for everyone to repent,
Instead of the suffering an eternal torment;
The day will come as a thief in the night,
And Heaven will pass away in great fright;
As everything shall melt in a fervent heat,
All the earth shall burn and will deplete.
God is good all the time through this life,
And does not want us to suffer with strife;
But a time to come when our insurrection,
He no longer allows us in that direction;
A clock ticks unknown when it will alarm,
And exactly when God turns off the charm;
Unfortunately then it will be far too late,
Wasting time until the last minute to wait;
Each and everyone who ever has misbehaved,
Never confessing and asking to be saved.
