O SLEEPER AWAKE!
Now is the time to awake from our sleep.
Our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
The day is at hand, advanced is the night.
Let us throw off dark works, don armors of light.
For the flesh, we must now make no provision.
Instead try to see with the Lord’s holy vision.
Let us throw off all lust, and all promiscuity.
Discard rivalry and jealousy, in Him find our security.
Stay awake! Keep watch! As in Noah’s days.
The Lord will return like a flood, mighty and raised.
Dear Father, awaken our loved ones sedate,
From the slumber they’re in, before it’s too late.
By the Holy Spirit, may they be filled with Your gifts,
Of joy and of peace, to mend all their rifts.
Wake loved ones from slumber, Give their souls a shake
Call to them now Lord: “O sleeper awake!”
(Rom. 13:11-14; Matt. 24:37-44)
Thank you Mary Ann for keeping the fire burning in me for my son’s healing.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.
