Watch Therefore
Standing therefore, we stand on the wall
Come Lord, we pray Thee
We wait for Thy call
We've mourned and we pray
For Thy Glorious Day
When the Last trump will sound
And Your glorious Power
Awakens the dead,
Resurrection Ing Power
Lifting Your faithful
Asleep in the ground
The Church of Philadelphia
In Rapturous holy joy!
Woe, Woe! Church Laodicea
The judgement Day will find
Thou rich unloving prideful church
So arrogant and blind
You have no need of nothing
And your charities a bluffing
In your treasures so believe
With the name 'church'
Sore deceive
Now buy thee salve of holiness
That your blinded eyes may see
Love the Lord and others!!!
Your treasures won't save thee!
Oh' stand ye faithful watchers
Stand watch upon the wall
And see the coming day
You'll lift!
And wickedness will fall!
For soon the King will come with fire
His Sword of Truth
Will sway
Watch therefore the King will come
Upon that glorious Day
Mourn Laodicea
Your riches you so trust
Will not, and cannot save your soul
For treasures turn to dust
Awake! Awake! The hour is near
The King will ride!! He'll dry
the orphan's tear
In huddled mass
Of Brotherly Love
His own eyes saw from
Heaven above
Who shared the loaves of
Molded wheat
While false shepherds
Took their spoil to eat
From widows mites
Her meager bites
You gobbled up in sheer delight
You scattered sheep
In Heaven's sight!
Behold Laodicea
Thou rich and prideful place
your nakedness is showing
Why won't you wash your face
Anoint your eyes with eye salve
That you may finally see
You think you've need of nothing
in your deep apostasy
Lazarus. to the rich man?
Was nothing but refuse
When the salt (LOVE)
Loses flavor, then it has lost
It's use
Oh! Hold on Philidelphia!
The King shall mount
His steed
And lift you in His mercy
From this world of hate and greed
