Poem#128 Another Midnight
Matthew 25, Mark 13, Luke 12
Another Midnight has come & Gone another New Year surpasses
While the fireworks were going off was anybody watching inside
For like a Thief He will come whether we’re sleeping or outside
The house we’re to be watching gets left unguarded, no alarm set
So worried about the world narrative, signs being left for repenting
When we’re forgetting about our own house & the Thief’s inside
Don’t let another influence be the reason we’re losing faith
Because we’re no longer hearing God’s Word therefore deaf
From disobedience in not doing what God’s calling us to do
If we’re going to celebrate let’s do so for Jesus & for God’s People
Before another midnight has come & gone with the rooster crowing
Be doing what Jesus called & then celebrate the Joy in Jesus
New Year’s bash is nothing unless we’re wide awake for Christ
Letting our Light shine from underneath our Basket for His glow
Don’t let the devil have all the good music be heard
Let those that have an ear let him hear what Christ is saying inside
Making sure the house is in order, bringing everything to His Light
Playing the Lord’s Music that sings of His Glory even as we sleep
Another midnight’s coming & if Christ hasn’t come yet be watching
Be focused on the Good News that is Jesus & let everything we do
Reflect the Gospel so when He comes we’re focused on Loving People
