Repent!

Karl Kohlhase


Have you not heard the voice of the Lord
Calling from Heaven?
Intoned like a song, it's mournful yet strong
A cry from the mountain 
Echoing down, every valley resounds 
The voice of the Son of God pleading aloud 
Hear Him say... 

Repent! I am coming 
The Bridegroom is ready to marry His bride 
Repent! I am coming 
But she's unprepared now to stand at My side 

Splitting the sky with His sorrowful cry 
It echoes like thunder 
His words and His tears fall on deaf ears
And it fills Him with wonder
How long will she wait while the hour grows late? 
The voice of the Bridegroom is heard at the gate once again...

Repent! I am coming 
The Bridegroom is ready to marry His bride
Repent! I am coming 
But she's unprepared now to stand at My side 

I am coming 
Are you ready? 
Are you wearing your wedding clothes?
Are you spotless, without wrinkle? 
Are you wearing your white robes? 
Is there oil left in your lantern?
Does the fire I lit still burn? 
Are you ready? 
Will I even find faith when I return?

All who have ears, let them now hear 
The Bridegroom is calling
Awake from your deep and slumbering sleep
The day is now dawning 
The time has arrived for the dead to arise
The Husband approaches calling His bride once again...

Repent! I am coming 
The Bridegroom is ready to marry His bride
Repent! I am coming 
But she's unprepared now to stand at My side
