Heeding Warnings


Amos 3:1-8

Please heed this word being from the Lord,
I am giving you a warning not to be ignored;
For all of the species throughout the earth,
God has taken care of more than our worth;
For this He will punish us for all our sins,
Death and disaster as the last day begins;
Can two people walk together if not agree?
Will a lion roar if there is no prey to see?
Can birds fall into a snare if there's none?
If a siren has been sounded has fear begun?
If the lion roars who won't fearfully dread?
Would the prophet talk if the Lord has said?
There have been many warnings all around,
But nobody seems to recognize that sound;
The sound of the Lord telling us to change,
Because our lifestyles are slightly derange;
We have gone too far in immoral behavior,
Overall the human race is nearly a failure;
Signs are flashing showing their meanings,
So pay attention in heeding the warnings.
