Taking Heed

Mark 13:5-10

Take heed so that you do not stray,
In case someone makes you sway;
Since many will come in His name,
With a deceptive gospel to proclaim.

Hearing of wars and bruits of wars,
As well as other things that abhors;
Do not be alarmed what takes place,
Before you will even see His face.

For the end is not as of yet to come,
So no need to fret about the scum;
As nation will rise up against nation,
And insurgents in a terrorist faction.

Earthquakes will occur everywhere,
Floods and famine for grief to bear;
It is to like a woman in labor pains,
Not knowing how long it sustains.

So take heed know what is at stake,
As your testimony is for His sake;
Christ has given you a new rebirth,
To preach the Gospel over the earth.
