The Few
The people slept and slumbered on the night of Jesus' birth
The night the angels' carols should have wrapped around the earth
Instilling joy and gladness in the hearts through sinners' ears
That God had sent a Saviour to remove all doubts and fears
Of judgment in the future for the sins they'd done before
For now had come Messiah they had long been waiting for
But only humble shepherds who were resting with their sheep
Were wrapped in joy and gladness while the chosen stayed asleep
But has it not been always just a few lived as they cared
Devoting time and effort with the message that they shared
That judgment time was coming and is coming still today
For all not just the chosen for the things they do and say
For starting back at Noah and the building of the ark
Of all the population only eight did have a part
In entering the safety of the one place they could be
That offered them salvation when the world became a sea
And when the mass of people in old Sodom were condemned
And all the evil cities in the plains for all their sins
Though God had said He'd spare them if just ten were good and wise
Just three came out that listened and were smart to guard their eyes
And when the Hebrew people whom God made to share His Truth
Were captured by great Babylon and pilfered of their youth
Of all that could have favor from the mighty King of kings
Twas only four that listened and refused the dainty things
That would not give them clearness in their minds that they would need
To learn the greatest wisdom of the One they chose to heed
Who for their dedication would extend to them the praise
Of royalty before them when the threats did not them phase
For standing for the honor of their God and not of men
Gave them the greatest honor as the eyes of those in sin
Saw walking in the fire with the three who did not bow
The Son of God to honor those who knew the why and how
We must be ever ready ever vigilant and wise
To stand for God a people who refuse to compromise
The principles for living He has placed within His Word
That make us fit and ready to be lifted heavenward
Luke 2:6-16; 1 Peter 3:17-22; Daniel 3
