Read It and Weep
Right now counts forever and right now is the day
The time of Gods favour, the time to walk His way.
God is there and is not silent- he calls us to be healed
His word is like a mirror Our true nature to reveal
Every idle word -that men shall speak, that men have heard
They shall give account thereof on the day of Judgement
All of us shall appear before his throne with hope or fear
Each day its drawing near- that day of judgement...
Deep is calling unto deep
What you sow so shall you reap
The life laid downs the one He keeps- read it and weep....
God gives to us His will within a more sure word
Its dangerous and sharper than a two edged sword
That penetrates the hardened hateful heart of stone
And separates between the very marrow and the bone
Not everyone who calls Him Lord shall enter into rest
But he that does the Fathers will surely will be blessed
Many cry out, Lord, we have worked wonders in your name
I never knew you, he replies, Depart from me-the way you came...
Every idle word -that men shall speak, that men have heard
They shall give account thereof on the day of Judgement
All of us shall appear before his throne with hope or fear
Each day its drawing near- that day of judgement...
Deep is calling unto deep
What you sow so shall you reap
The life laid downs the one He keeps- read it and weep....
