Awake While There's Still Time
Awake my soul from slumber while there's still the light of day
While still we have the freedom to be open when we pray
To share the light and glory that is hidden in His Word
Before the dark of midnight takes away the truth we've heard
Be swift my soul to answer when you hear the Master's call
To lay aside your selfishness to give to Him your all
Not hesitating when you hear those words that come from Him
To tell the world of Jesus Christ and all He gave for them
Not hiding from the promise that you made Him long ago
To do as He instructed that the world at large could know
The truth of Jesus' coming when the tribulation ends
And judgement of the wicked for the sake of those begins
Who knew not of the darkness in the hearts of those they knew
And all the hidden evil in the things that they would do
Though hidden from the eyes of men could not be hid from God
Who judges by the statutes of His Law He calls the Rod
And who they thought were holy by the titles that they held
When all the deep miasma of the darkness is dispelled
And truth is seen quite clearly when the book of record's read
The record of the ones still left upon this earth all dead
Who'll wish they had responded when they're raised again at last
To answer for the sinfulness they harbored in their past
But could have given Jesus to be nailed upon the cross
Whereon the Lamb of God did bleed to save that which was lost
But only if they turned to Him who takes our sins away
When we in deep contrition kneel before Him as we pray
Abandoning what we once were to be made new again
A people of obedience repulsed by selfish sin
So hurry now my soul fear not the devil's wicked ways
For he has not the power over one who always prays
And even though this body he may have the power to kill
Our God retains the power for the one who gives his will
To walk Christ's path of righteousness as Jesus did before
When He promised eternal life with Him and so much more
Than words could ever tell for those who give their all for Him
The way He gave His all to give His gospel call to them
Isaiah 6:1-8; Matthew 28:18-20: Daniel 7:10; Revelation 20:11-15
