Shut Up!

Shut Up! Shut up the hurricane shutters! There's a storm that is ready to blow. Batten down all the hatches! Mother nature is angry, don't you know? There's a man on the watch tower and he's signalling to the boats in the harbor. There are squalls on the horizon, and he doesn't want you to go. Keep your prayers close beside you. Keep your loved ones by your side. Settle all scores that divide you. Pray for forgiveness, and for strength to abide. Paint the front doors that judgement pass over. Burn the candles that welcomes the Prince of Peace. You can see the four horsemen come riding. There is no shelter from His wrath to hide. The mockers will taunt you, as Noah had to endure. Your obedience is your love, and in faith, your salvation is assured. When finally the seas die back. And the armies of evil are drowned in the murk, A ray of light like a dove will descend on you, and everlasting paradise will be secured. by Martin Braun 3/17/2024
