FROM LAMB TO LION

A lawless world abounds with sin,
And grief and sorrow rule therein,
Rebellious people ruled by the flesh,
As the gears of justice wait to mesh,
For one comes soon with his rod of iron,
The once slain Lamb will become the Lion.

Religion has turned to worldly things,
Churches follow the kingdom instead of the King,
Witness is lost due to social events,
A flock is created that sits on the fence,
But it's not yet too late, all hope is not dyin,
Look back to the Lamb before the Lion.

Those desperately searching for meaning and truth,
Are deceived by false doctrines, devilish and uncouth,
Through life they go blindly, in ignorant bliss,
Unaware that they walk on the rim of the abyss,
Good works are for naught despite the tryin,
Take hold of the Lamb before the Lion.

Peace and goodwill are today's popular words,
But when God's word is read a different message is heard,
Man seeks to unite under one common goal,
Unaware of the danger awaiting his soul,
Worldly trends and ideals are a lot worth denyin,
Give yourself to the Lamb before the Lion.

Wars must be fought on land and on sea,
The crime rate must grow, it's destined to be,
Disasters will strike all around the Earth,
Money will lose all its glitter and worth,
But God commands all from his throne on Mt. Zion,
Live life for the Lamb before the Lion.

Back stabbers wait to lunge with their spears,
Gossips feed on humiliation and tears,
People make judgments based on hearsay,
Self important they live for their own wicked way,
But the day will soon come when they do the cryin,
Run to the Lamb before the Lion.

As values decrease and morals decline,
A wicked generation seeks after a sign,
They're looking so hard they'll believe anything,
Without thought to the consequences this will bring,
It's not answers and wisdom but destruction they're buyin,
Listen to the Lamb before the Lion.

But those in the Word have a higher belief,
Aware that the end will come as a thief,
They wait watch and work just like they are told,
So they can approach the throne of Grace bold,
So make your way clear, on Christ be relyin,
Belong to the Lamb before the Lion.

AUTHORS NOTE:
Jesus has already fulfilled his role as the lamb to the slaughter. Because the full burden of our sin was placed squarely and fully on his shoulders, those who accept his gift and live under his redeeming blood can now enter where they were previously banished from. Heaven. But when Jesus returns, (and the Bible says he will return), he will no longer be the lamb, but a Lion of wrath, ripping apart all those who dare to cross his path. Our God is a loving and forgiving God but his Word tells us clearly that eventually the Grace will dry up and it's place will be filled by wrath. Dear Saints, we must try to guide sinners so the Holy Spirit can steer them toward the Lamb so that they can partake of his grace, as we ourselves remain and partake, before it is too late.
