dressed for action


Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning, and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks.
Luke 12:35-36

Lord how can You delay
Your return any longer?
It seems that evil
can grow no stronger.

It could happen any day
You could part heaven’s clouds
and end this rebellious din
then be marveled by watching crowds.

May I be dressed and ready
waiting patiently for Your reign;
keeping lamps brightly lit
and not asleep in vain.

Dressed for action I await
Your presence to appear.
Trusting gospel, telling others
until You judge in place here.

Jesus is coming soon
to rule and judge this place!
I long to see His kingdom
welcomed by His approving face.

He will come with kindled fire
ready to judge all evil men.
May I keep telling of His salvation
until this world is judged by Him.
