the time is coming soon – v2


The words of two thousand years ago
that the time is coming soon
soon Christ will return to earth
and separate the flock

The sheep from the goats
in part how they answered
whether they followed His call
whether we served His Master

The time is coming soon
and soon will be upon us
for our time here is borrowed
known only by the Master

It is true, it is two thousand years hence
since Paul spoke to Corinth,
yet how many have lived and died
and come before our Maker

We do not know the time we are given
as we traverse this plain
we only know His commission
and His promise to come again

What will we answer
when we come before God
did we serve, did we follow
did we answer the Savior’s call
