Laodicea
This spirit of complacency this lukewarm state we're in
While everywhere the devil has convulsed the world in sin
Is worse than you'd imagine in the thinking of the Lord
Who gave His All on Calvary salvation to afford
To those whom He's entrusted with the keeping of His Word
Who have the words of Jesus that the world has never heard
The way they need to hear them most in this probation hour
While there is but a little time for their redemptive power
For many are the millions who know not the times we're in
How Satan in these final hours of arrogance and sin
Has marshaled all his forces to destroy the saints of God
Who hold firm His commandments as His Mighty Holy Rod
By which He'll judge the masses by the things they say and do
That demonstrate the evidence if all they say is true
That they're in love with Jesus Whom they claim to be their Friend
Whom they like Peter say they'll hold on to up to the end
But Whom they know so little of when pressed to answer those
Who have the power in the flesh to bring life to a close
As they've not stepped outside themselves to let His Spirit in
Who only has the power of God to cleanse them of their sin
Because they have not taken time to lay old self aside
To let God's Spirit do His work that's needed deep inside
That work of reformation finding strength for everyday
Through hours spent in fellowship with Jesus while we pray
So unlike dear old Peter when the hour of trial comes
We'll stand in full allegiance to the One Whom strength comes from
The One Who gave him warning as He gives to us today
Who think we have the strength to stand what're might come our way
But only yes and only can we have that strength my friend
If we spend time with Jesus by His Spirit to the end
Observing and conserving all that He will have us learn
To be prepared and ready when at last it comes our turn
To be His final offering that all the world might see
The power of God that dwells in those who grasp divinity
Through faith that will not falter by God's grace to share the Truth
That soon will be rewarded with His Own eternal youth
Colossians 2:1-8; Revelation 3:14-21
