Poem: The Day is Drawing Near
Truly truly I say to you
The day is drawing near
Don't you see the world we're in
the way it lives in fear?
There is war and rumors of more
and love has grown so cold
The government is Godless now
To the devil their souls they've sold
The church is leaving Christ behind
as they stray from His Word
To make sin acceptable
The scriptures have been blurred
Truly truly I say to you
put away your selfish pride
It wont be long before He comes
to gather His ready bride
Only those who are true to Him
will He call up to the sky
We'll be here and then be gone
in a twinkling of the eye
Your heart will wail in misery
for you'll know God's Word was real
Your shame will drag you to your knees
Lost and hopeless you will feel
Truly truly I say to you
Your soul is not yet lost
There is still a saving Grace
Though surely you'll pay the cost
The beast will rise to power
When he breaks a covenant with the Jews
Demanding to be worshiped as God
and blasphemy he spews
Do not worship him or his image
Do not take his mark
Keep your heart with Christ in heaven
Even if all hope seems dark
Truly truly I say to you
deny the beast at any cost
for if you give in to him
your soul it will be lost
If you're willing to lose your life
then life eternal God will give
Make no mistake it will be the worst
seven years you'll ever live
But keep your eyes on Jesus Christ
and know that He is the Lord
and whatever price you have to pay
will be worth His great reward
Truly truly I say to you
I say this with my heart
I pray you turn to the Lord
before we all depart.
