The Time Is Now
Living in a fast paced world,
Vehicles jam the roads, hurriedly passing by.
People rushing to and fro,
They seem in such a hurry,
Taking no time to enjoy, no time to say hello,
Missing out on the important things of life.
So many diseases, pain and suffering,
So many tears, so much misery,
Death seems to be everywhere.
Look on the streets, look in the shelters,
People lost, alone, nowhere to go.
Crimes continue to scare many,
All we read and hear about day to day.
People scared to leave their homes,
Safety is no longer secure.
Teenagers with nothing to do,
Lost in life, lost in love.
For pleasures they turn to crime and drugs,
They talk of suicide and some follow through.
Children scared and alone,
Abuse and neglect fills their home.
Parents so involved with their own lives,
Striving to make a buck,
Striving to reach the top,
No longer take time to care.
People afraid to go to school
For fear a student will lose control.
Disasters both natural and man created,
Wars upon wars both near and far,
Destroying numerous lives, never ending.
People fearing the name of God,
Has now made it the golden rule:
Thou shalt not speak His name,
Thou shalt not kneel and pray,
Now we fear the consequence.
You ask why and He tells us so:
“My time is near,
All these and much more will happen before I come.
Look to Me, come to Me.
I gave My life for thee that you may live.
Accept My gift of salvation.
Please believe in Me.
The time is now!”
