Wake Up O Earth To Listen
This earth here where we live
has rejected God in all he's conveyed
having sent many preachers and prophets
with His truth for this so many prayed
God's truth been published in the west
through many means and many days
the gospel story has been sent abroad
to rescue man from his sinful ways
Jesus words crying over Jerusalem
is so very apt to this even our time
I wish you would come but you wouldn't
the clock is ticking but only to last chime
If this world would unstop their ears
for a moment and just stand still
listen to what the Lord is saying
receive His love give up their will
So O earth waken yourself up
pay attention to word of the Lord
believe it and trustingly obey
hold onto God's double edge sword
(O earth, earth earth hear the word of the Lord.' Jeremiah 22: 29 )
