Double Take



Here’s a warning alert
for all you children of the babblers,
who stand unrepentant
in your high faluting tower

The Son of Man is coming back,
soon returning again
And He’ll be sitting
on the right hand of power

If you haven’t been watching,
if you ain’t been praying
Do disregard this dire message,
then it goes without saying:

No need to do a double take,
you won’t see the Messiah coming
No sense in trying to hide,
all holes closed for rabbit running

In that holy, fearsome day,
say to the rocks: cover me
Crawl on the belly and say 
to the dust: hide me, please

Children of the babblers,
build high your proud tower
Only to be brought down low,
your evil works cast to the wind

For the Son of God is coming back,
sitting on the right hand of power
When the clouds of heaven blow,
that will then be your destiny’s end
