The Coming of the Lord is Near

Strengthen us in our waiting
add to our patience
lead us to prepare
to make the crooked ways straight
to conform our hearts ever
to the loving ways of Christ
The coming of the Lord is near
we should be ready
our lamps ever burning
spreading his message
to the ends of the earth, waiting
awake and ready
for the harvest to come at a time
a time of Gods’ choosing
