Wake Up My Beloved

O my beloved elected chosen flock
I've loved you from everlasting to everlasting
seeking only for your good and benefit
protecting you from many of satin's blasting

You have my authorative written word
in many versions for today's culture
suitable to feed the old and young
as the enemy hovers like a vulture

My word is preached through many forms
on radio, TV, web and MP3 to suit your ease
but what effect does it have upon you
looking down don't see many on their knees

Laws are passed in government places
that deny my authority and my pleasing
where is my voice in all of this
I promise you I'm not teasing

The days of my return is getting shorter
don't forget it's certain I will come
then I'll separate the sheep and goats
heaven is being prepared just for some

Is there any faith on this earth?
real dynamic stuff fully trusting on me
willing to stand no matter the cost
where's sacrificial living? I can't see

Get ready for my return as time's short
in a moment I will certainly appear
then it will be absolutely too late
for those not showing godly fear

Amen! Indeed the time of His coming is surely near and His Word tell us the Gospel will be preached to all nations, as it is now heard via internet technology. All the signs written in the Bible are here. Thank you for posting this wake-up call.

Thanks Cynthia, yes the events going on around us points in that direction, as well there seems to be famine of true preaching of God's word as the apostle Paul predicted to Timothy that man wouldn't endure sound doctrine. Well we all must persevere to the end, God bless, Gordon
