Awake O Sleeper
Awake O Sleeper~
Hear the drum beat of an army,
Marching out to war.
Sound the alarm!
They are coming by the score.
Who will respond in wisdom?
Who will bar the door?
The enemy’s approach clouds the sunny day.
Some refuse to see it’s time to stop the play.
Because they despise the waters.
Of a quiet flowing stream,
The flood of a great rushing water,
Sent by heaven’s queen. (Isaiah 13:16)
Fingers of the flood catch a sleeping city unaware.
Who will awaken in time to escape the snare?
Those who know the times like virgins will prepare,
But the fate of many wailing and great despair.
“Awake O sleeper,
For it is light that makes everything visible.
Rise from the dead,
And Christ will shine on you.” (Eph 5:14)
