THE TIME IS SHORT SLUMB’RING SOUL WAKE UP!
The world woke up to a ruffling sound
A sound it never heard before
A pandemic of a troubling sort
A novel virus on the prowl
Routines were changed and the world stood still
Movement restricted everywhere
Thousands admitted so many died
The world’s economy nose-dived
Many health systems were overwhelmed
Patients on bed, physicians too
Laid helplessly ill while life ebbed out
Eternity for them began
Amidst all these scientists worked on
A cure for this illness to find
Researchers here and researchers there
Worked hard a quick respite to give
Life gradually started bouncing back
The lockdown eased though life not same
We now hear terms like “the new normal”
To show that life’s not same again
Getting tested became a routine
In a bid to curb the virus
Vaccines produced were administered
In some places by compulsion
The gates to some offices got manned
By some law enforcement agents
You can’t come in you must show your card
To prove you’ve been vaccinated
It brings to mind of a time to come
After the saints have all been gone
The man of sin will begin his reign
Over the world for seven years
Then he’ll cause everyone small and great
The rich and poor the bound and free
To receive a mark in their right hand
Or to have it in their foreheads
He’ll decree no man might buy or sell
Except those that received the mark
Or received the number of his name
That signifies eternal doom
Current happenings all around show that
The world is preparing the stage
Unrelentingly getting well set
For when the man of sin would reign
The time is short slumb’ring soul wake up
Get ready for the trumpet sound
The Church awaits her Bridegroom’s return
Up! Get set, don’t be left behind
I pray for you same thing for myself
That the first flight we will not miss
Let’s all be wise our garments keep pure
Eternal salvation we’ll have. AMEN
