Hurry, Get Out Before God's Vengeance Comes - Genesis 19: 15
Lot received a divine message
it had urgency in its voice
with angelic tones proving divine
leaving Lot's family with little choice
The warning was for their own city
God was on His way to destroy
hurry they were told without delay
God's anger's sure it's no empty ploy
Lot had his wife and two daughters
that was his family under his care
if they didn't obey they'd be swept away
so they had ample warning to beware
Hurry, get out before God's vengeance comes
the angelic voices spoke loud and clear
God still speaks even to this lost world
like Lot they must take heed to get in gear
("With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished." Genesis 19:15)
