You Said The Time Would Come

Have you looked around you lately? Have you noticed what is going on in the world today? Where are all the Godly men who used to guide the young as they grew up? Why is it that in so many churches people are looking for thrills and good times, and expecting the Lord to give to them, instead of worshipping the Lord and meeting together to give back to Him the honour due His name? Why are people listening to the lies and false doctrines that are being preached in so many churches today? Well, if you read the Word, God told us there what to expect. He told us that this would happen in the end times before the Lord returned. Are we, perhaps, living in the end times? Is the Lord coming again soon? I pray so, and the cry of my heart is, "Come, Lord Jesus, come!"

YOU SAID THE TIME WOULD COME

You said the time would come, my Lord,

When even the elect could be deceived,

Because men would preach false doctrine

And their words would be received.

You warned us not to listen

To the lies these men conceived,

For only if they preach Your Word

Should any man be believed.

You said that in Your Gospel

Is where the truth would be revealed,

And that it would be plain to see,

Not hidden or concealed.

You warned us to heed Your Spirit,

Not the deceitful words of men,

For through Him Your truth would be clearly seen

If we'd been truly born again.

You said that men would twist Your words

And preach doctrines that were untrue,

And that for every lamb they led astray

They would have to account to You.

Well, Lord, these things are happening

Right around the world today,

And so many of Your people

Are being led astray.

So, Lord, I ask You to intercede

And open Your people's eyes

To see these men come not from You

And their words are blatant lies.

Let them turn back to Your Word

To find out what is true,

And Lord, please guide them on the path

That leads them back to You.
