“Get Ready”

Are we living in the day Jesus spoke of long ago?
Of the times and the seasons is it meant for us to know?

The disciples asked that question, don’t you think that we should too?
Is preparing in advance what Jesus wanted us to do?

We’ve been drawn into deception by men claiming they are Him
With promises of “the good life” while we continue in our sin

There have been so many wars and rumors they are rising
Jesus said that this would happen so it shouldn’t be surprising

We have seen the devastation of the powerful earthquake
And wonder deep within our hearts, how much more can this earth take

The seas they have been roaring causing perplexity to man
For all of our natural disasters, we can’t begin to have a plan

We have lost the natural love that we have for one another
We have turned against our parents, our sister and our brother

We have become a land of pleasure and forsaken the love of God
We continue in our wickedness and expect from Him a nod

Like a woman in travail the signs are coming faster
But if you put your trust in God you will miss the ”great“ disaster

Jesus said to watch the fig tree when you see it begin to bloom
Your generation will not pass away, so Bride get ready for your Groom
