As they cut her from the wreck
<< Back
Sabbath's Almost
Here
Quickly
Children, hurry, scurry, Sabbath's almost here.
Pack up the
toys and tidy your room sunset’s drawing near.
Clink &
clatter, dishes gather, and the bench we must clear,
Cloth the
table, sweep the floor, and hurry please my dear.
Make the
bed, and vacuum out, the sun is almost down.
Just a
minute I’ll be back I must get fuel in town.
Quick
where’s your shirt and my skirt, I must give them an Iron.
Can someone
run outside and get the clothes in off the line?
On goes the
oven the food is in I hope it cooks in time.
While it
cooks I’ll wipe the sink and clean of all the grime.
Turn on the
light I cannot see, the sun it must be down
Quickly
children grab your bibles lets all gather round.
Lets just
tell God we’re sorry things weren’t done on time,
After all to
not be ready, is it such a crime?
Next week
will be different, we won’t leave things so late,
The house we
will have tidy and not in such a state.
My Friend…
If we
can’t be ready for Sabbath which comes around each week,
What about
His second coming of which we often speak
We will not
be ready when that day doth appear,
But rather
we’ll cry out in terror and hide because of fear.
