I Know

I know the end is not near to come While soldiers bleed And children die And drones discharge the precise bomb The rumors of wars is only the discontent Of sinners proud and impenitent. I know no designated time is given No schedule to prepare for heaven A life of righteousness Will not cease, anticipating the brightness Of his coming. Faith must from day to day Surrender to love and obey. I know that many prophecies exist That tells the coming of the end But only of them consist Of wisdom of the coming King. From the gospel's page I'm schooled to see The lightening of eternity. I know that seed time and harvest shall remain And a remnant shall reap his joy Seek ye your peace in vain Seek ye your wisdom coy I know the end is not near to come But living by faith is wisdom.
