The time is near.

Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.

Revelation 1:3

The time is near.

Lord, let me hear

and keep the words written here

in Your Word. I fear

I may forget that You are near.

And so today

I will read aloud what You say.

Help me to listen and obey

the truth, the life, the way.

This I pray.

Blessed are these words I read

You furnish all I’ll ever need

as Your promises I heed.

From sin and death I am freed.

Jesus will return. It’s guaranteed.

Near is the coming of the Lord.

I will read and hear His Word.

I’ll pay attention to what I’ve heard.

In His promises assured

I’ll keep my focus heavenward.

The time is near.

Lord, let me hear

and keep the words written here

in Your Word. I fear

I may forget that You are near.
