Get Off the Shelf

Behold I'm coming quickly the end is very near The signs of my returning are making themselves clear My intention's never been for you to sit on the shelf I have chosen you to be an example of myself If you truly love me help me spread the word Before my Father's had enough and the trumpet sound is heard I need for you to understand the clock is ticking fast Stop wasting time arguing who will be first or last The most important thing right now is seek my face and pray Then I will lead you every step along the narrow way When I tell you to do something if you don't do what I ask I will find someone who takes joy in the task Of sharing with a dying world I AM the only way Great will be their reward on that judgement day
