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
