Storm Warning


Sometimes you hear a warning
There’s a big storm on the way
Batten down the hatches
I’ve heard some people say
The storm it has the fiercest winds
Maybe some sleet and snow
And everything around you
Must be tied down you know

We hear the broadcast many times
In various kinds of ways
There are so many different storms
That come our way today
People do all they can
Before the storm appears
But oh the devastation
They cause from year to year

The warnings are going out
God’s storm is on the way
This storm it also has a name
It’s tribulation day
When Jesus takes the saved on earth
To their home beyond the sky
This storm will come so suddenly
No time to question why

This storm has been talked about
It’s been preached by men of God
The warnings have gone out
All through this world abroad
You must prepare your soul
God’s judgement day is near
Still men will not listen
It seems they do not care

There is still time to escape
There is time to change your way
For now is the accepted time
You may only have today
There might be no tomorrow
Be careful don’t delay
Invite the Lord into your life
There is no other way
