Time Wanes Thin

I never felt to push or shove People toward the God of love It seemed that it was not my place “Just give them time and give them space” But then I came to understand When vision of a failing dam Appeared in revelation’s dream And as I dreamt I looked to see A town that lay downstream, below In dead of night, they did not know That little time remained until Collapse would come and floods would fill The valley, bringing death to all The sleeping souls, and so I called As loud as I could raise my voice I ran the streets, I had no choice I beat upon their glass and doors I told them what things lay in store If they would not rise up and leave But many simply looked at me As though I were a crazy fool Some slammed their doors and some were cruel They mocked me as they turned away And I had no more time to stay For in the distance I could hear The raging flood that now was near And all that I could do was flee To higher ground for my safety Then as I turned and looked back down A wall of water swept the town With total devastating force I cried out loud, my heart remorsed If only they had known the cost But they are gone, so many lost And so I learned from that night’s dream I do not have the luxury To sit and let the time wane thin The time is now, I must begin To warn as many as I can For soon shall come…The Son of Man
