Left Behind

On this day, nonbelievers will see
The unimaginable transpire

The earth overwhelmed by tragedy
People vanished, replaced by fire

As for those left behind
A flock of sheep without a Shepard

There in the book, perfectly lined
The words will taunt the herd

This is the day you will be left alone
No missionaries will try and change your mind

They reside at the feet of our God, beneath his throne
You, my friend have been left behind
