by SIXTUS ONYEANUSI Written on: Date: 13/10/14 Time: 03:42pm Day: Monday Place: In the Office Vs1: Be ye ready my pilgrim friend Our long journey sooner shall end Watch ye, be sober, guard your mind It's fearful to be left behind! Chorus: Oh friend, be not left behind! Flee from those weights that betide A fearful judgement awaits Those that miss Christ, even saints! Vs2: Be ye ready, fellow pilgrim That when Christ appears, we'll see Him And enter into His glory May this hope make us stay holy Vs3: Beloved, do not be left behind Do not join the rest who are blind; Who have lost the sight of Heaven They love pleasure, d'cross' too heavy! Vs4: If all our labours of the past Will not be counted vain at last Then we must be up and earnest And daily thrive in righteousness Vs5: We must be strong in'd Holy Ghost For the enemy of our souls Seeketh to sift us like a wheat And blow us into his dark pit Vs6: Holy brethren, the hour has come Closer than ever is'd Kingdom Up, awake, repent, be zealous Let all that you do please Jesus! **** "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light." (Romans 13:11-12). Many believers now treat the return of the Lord as a light thing. We have lost its sense of urgency and emergency, and therefore have so relaxed and become cold towards preparing and warning men about the imminent coming of our Lord. So sad many will be left behind. It is now your choice to be among those that will make it. *** "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
