Take Heed To Watch And Pray
By George Thurlow
Would you be found sleeping
Should the Master come today?
For no one knows the hour,
Take heed to watch and pray.
Would you be found worthy
To escape the coming wrath?
Or left behind to suffer
The coming aftermath?
Has your heart become divided?
Have you compromised your stand?
Are you focused heavenward
For the coming Son of Man?
Would you be found faithful
Should the Lord return today:
Taking careful diligence
As from the path not sway?
Christians stay allegiant
And to the Lord obey.
Listen to the Master warn
Take heed to watch and pray.
This poem was given to me this morning at Goosefare Brook by the Holy Spirit as I reflected on the sermons yesterday in both the morning and evening services preached by Rev. Merle L. Mitchell at Faith Lighthouse Assembly of God in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.
Messages entitled "Distractions" and "Focused" based on Mark 13:32-37 and Matthew 24: 42-57.
