Keep Watch

Me: 
In the hush of the stillness in black of night
God’s glory shown around me so pure and so bright
I have been waiting, expectant to hear
My betrothed’s voice, so loving and dear

Lord:
Rise up, My beloved, and come with Me
Through the night shadows, I’ll help you to see
The harvest is ready and cannot wait
Storm clouds are gathering to decimate

The wise ones will rise and fill up their lamp
To light the way through the cold and the damp
Don’t be foolish and stay in your bed
I beg you to wake up–don’t be misled

It is at midnight the cry will ring out
“The bridegroom is coming,” will be the shout
Therefore, keep watch because you don’t know the hour
The day of My coming in glory and power

Psalm 139:11-12 – “If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” 12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.”

Song of Songs 2:10 – “My beloved spoke and said to me, “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me.”

Matthew 25:1-6 – “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6 At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’”
