The Titanic Generation

We’re the Titanic generation Sailing the seven seas; Partying with our Captain; Living a life of ease. Not knowing the message Found in that communiqué; Not heeding the warning For our Captain – The US of A. We’re listening to the music And dancing all night long; Glorying in our surroundings And feeling very strong. Aboard a ship that cannot sink Or so the mass did say. Journeying on through the night Towards that fateful day. They said, “This ship’s so powerful Not even God could sink”. This ship’s so grandiose, Let’s sing, dance and drink! As though there’s no tomorrow, Let’s enjoy ourselves today. We’ll soon be in the Big Apple, Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! But did they see the town they call New York, NY – we’re free? No, they sailed into the ice that night In that cold, dark Atlantic sea. Do you want to party too, my friend Pretending there’s no end? Or will you listen to the words Of wisdom Christ did send? Soon the thunder and the lightning Will make a mighty sound; When the trumpets call the chosen For earthward Christ is bound To take His created children Beyond the Milky Way; Up to the New Jerusalem, Or so the Revelations say. Where pearly gates and streets of gold Shine brightly as of glass; Where love abounds and grace’s sweet— There’s no such thing as class. All are one and equal, As equal as can be, Because they’ve found the Captain, Who sails without a sea. He doesn’t want you to die He loves you – did you know? He plans you live forever With a life as white as snow. The gift is free He tells you, And He’s honest as the day, As long as you surrender, But be sure you don’t delay!
