I solemnly call on you,
In the presence of the Lord;
Will be judging what is true,
Let His Word not be ignored.
For God is going to judge,
Those who are dead and living;
The Lord never holds a grudge,
Impartial and forgiving.
I do this for Christ returns,
To come back and rule the earth;
That will be when each one learns,
What each one is truly worth.
Be ready to spread the Word,
Whether or not the right time;
Ensuring the truth as heard,
About the facts of their crime.
Point out faults and warn people,
Encourage them as you teach;
Endure to tell the Gospel,
As you expand your outreach.
A time will come they dismiss,
The precise truth that is taught;
When they feel the deadly kiss,
As their body starts to rot.
They follow their desires,
Living the life of leisure;
Getting what it requires,
Even if it means seizure.
People are being uncouth,
Heeding to myths and fake news;
Turning away from the truth,
For leftist personal views.
But you must keep a clear head,
As you endure suffering;
As you concentrate instead,
On comfort with buffering.
Work as a missionary,
Devote yourself on the Word;
Leave not from the contrary,
Clarify what seems absurd.
