Always On Watch

 

He told us to be on the watch
In everything we do,
For we don’t know the day or time
When He’ll return anew.
 
I used to let myself get lost
In this world’s day to day,
Until I recalled His guidance
To keep watch and to pray.
 
It matters that I walk this world
Knowing I’m passing through,
For that allows me to decide
What’s important to do.
 
So, I will keep watching each day
And walk the path He set,
Until I see Him coming back.
I’ll watch and not forget.
 
Matthew 24:36
But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.
