These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

When the Time Comes

Days of grace are fading fast,
but when the time comes what will be?
Deciding moments soon will pass,
but when the time comes, who will be free?

The Earth has left its need of God,
but when the time comes will we then?
Our voices all our selves applaud,
but when the time comes to die in sin...?

We choose a century to play,
but when the time comes, then we stand
before the God, Whose Word will say,
"Your house was built on shifting sand."

Today, the believer is God's Gift to His Son.
Believer, time is yours, right now.
For Jesus died, and rose, and won,
that you'd be humbled, before Him bow.
