Father,
I've seen the hour glass and it's running out of sand
Please help me Father, to tell them about the end
forgive me Lord, for this watchman has not watched
I've idled away my time when I should have sat on the wall
so many are decieved
they eat, they drink and they're merry
no more concerned that the Bridegroom's appearance is so near
most of all cleanse me, for my life must be Your voice
let my steps lead them Your way
Father they have no clue that its You who breathes in them
with the opening of Your lips..the wind blows
Oh God stir us in to fasting and prayer
Let us sacrifice for the sake of Your lost sheep
Wash me in the Blood of Jesus
Make me pure in Your sight
Keep me still until I'm white as snow
then take me into the Holy of Holies
burden my heart for Your prodicals, Your lost ones
Let me love them enough to tell them...
Time is running out
I see the hour glass....it's almost out of sand...time is running out
time is running out
Wake up all ye people!!!
The sound of the Bridegroom's entrance is getting louder
You can almost hear the swishing of His footsteps in the isle
A little Sand Remains...
Author notes
This one was especially hard to write because I wanted it to totally come from my heart. I didn't want just cliches and predictable thoughts. So this is what spilled out!
