On Watch

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The world is lingering in sleep,

Though dawn is drawing nigh,

But I am waiting for You, Lord,

Beneath the starlit sky.

 

I know that You are not far off,

That You are on Your way,

And I thought I would just keep watch

In case You come today.

 

Lord, if You don’t get here today,

I’ll wait until You do.

But I’ll sit here a while longer

And keep watching for You.

 

Matthew 25:13

Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
