Worrywart

Luke 21:7-19

Take heed that you are not misled,
For many will come in His name;
Bearing of false testimony instead,
On the time is at hand to proclaim.

News of wars and troubled times,
Natural disasters of your worst fears;
Massacres and other hideous crimes,
That will be bombarding your ears.

Nation will rise up against nation,
Kingdom will be against kingdom;
Terrorists to be causing damnation,
As other events will defy all wisdom.

The fury hurricanes and earthquakes,
And from Heaven other great signs;
While we will experience outbreaks,
Of pestilence in spreading like vines.

So please take care and not to worry,
For you have the wisdom to cherish;
About the wrath of God and His fury,
But not one of your hairs will perish.
