Sleeping
When on the verge of victory Battalions slumbered, not a few
And ships were lost in battle seas While slept the captain of the crew.
How many souls are being lost?
Some people never seem to care, When by the Devil men are tossed
Upon the seas of sin, despair.
But God through Paul a letter wrote From heaven's throne of love and might
Ephesians 5:14 I quote,
"Awake...and Christ shall give thee light."
Some well-intentioned souls may say:
I think I know what we must do!
We'll pool the churches funds today
— Tomorrow have H-O-T- stew!
How many congregations stray Because God's word some man ignores
And walks within the widened way Toward the Devil's distant door?
"And Go! God says, "And teach all men!
You teach, baptize, and teach some more!
Teach men to do my will, and then, You'll rest on heaven's peaceful shore!
