Watchmen

But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”  - (Luke 21:34-36 ESV)

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood?!

Yeah right…don’t get me started

If you live here in this city of lights

You might say it’s ironic

Because so many love the darkness

So come and get your fill

In the carnival o’ carnage

Pitch black hearts hurling stones with no regard

With intent to do harm – the anger, the swarm

No prison can hold ‘em – gone is the calm

No need for a need to sound the alarm

Because the watchmen have been taken

In a hostage situation

With Stockholm syndrome, now they’ve forsaken their post

And everything they stood for on the day

That they first took the oath…

So instead of a ringing bell

Now it’s a running joke

Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.

- (1 Timothy 4:16 ESV)

Soli Deo Gloria,

Shon
