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!
