Moment by moment, time goes on... to march to its own beat,
Another day has come and gone... its prophecies complete,
But there's one day, that's yet to be... the day that Christ returns,
Till then, it's God's great mystery... beyond what Man discerns...
Yet come that day, the world will stare... when fear strikes every heart,
They'll weep that they neglected prayer... and that they played no part...
They'll mourn they didn't fast at all... nor give their firm support,
They'll sigh they got no miracle... or brought a praise report...
No tithes were offered to the Lord... no sacrifice for sin,
Our Saviour, Jesus, they ignored... that's why the lost won't win...

Prayer journals none sought to possess! Prayer warriors they weren't...
They lacked all godly happiness... for Scriptures they'd not learnt...
They're sinners, losers, every one... they're outcasts one and all,
Not trusting Jesus as God's Son... God's finest miracle!
They've disobeyed without restraints, betrayed both young and old!
Alas, for such as these, dear saints... the ones you should have told!
Baptised, in Jesus Name, you've prayed... God's heard your prayers sublime,
Yet now reflect how far Man's strayed! Repent... redeem the time...
Don't count your blessings, yet not share what God's done through His Son,
Make every lost soul well aware... Christ died... for every one!
