There Is a Mighty Question

There is a migh­ty quest­ion

We ask when na­tions rage:

Just when will be Christ’s com­ing

The end­ing of the age?

Take care

said Je­sus clear­ly

For ma­ny will ap­pear;

They’ll claim to be Mes­si­ah

Yet peo­ple should not fear.

For in the days of No­ah

The peo­ple went along

In eat­ing and in drink­ing

In mer­ri­ment and song—

Then sud­den­ly the world changed

With great

sur­pris­ing pow­er;

So too will be Christ’s com­ing

And no one knows the hour.

So keep awake and watch­ful;

Salvation is at hand!

Our hope is in Christ Je­sus

And by God’s grace we stand.

The night is almost over

We wait for God’s new day

And through the Ho­ly Spir­it

We fol­low Je­sus’ way.

Be rea­dy in your liv­ing

For when you feed the poor

Or give to thirs­ty child­ren

The wa­ter they long for

And when you wel­come strang­ers

And help the ones in need

Christ says: Re­ceive my king­dom

For you are serv­ing me.
