IT'S TIME TO STOP & THINK


They are shopping in the high street
Strolling down many roads
Walking as Satan's sifted wheat
Bearing their heavy loads


Quite normal to the selfish mind
With loads there's nothing odd
Their calloused hearts have grown so blind
They've lost all sight of God


For gain they'll travel miles and miles
For lust they'll spare no cost
Behind their masks yet no one smiles
They're all completely lost


They're lost because their eyes are weak
They're deaf to all but sound
They fail to know of what they seek
Or what on earth is found


They need to stop and look inside
Give thought of here and now
Perhaps they'll see how Satan's lied
And how to him they bow


They need to stop and spare some thought
Reflect what life's about
Consider Jesus Christ's report
And stop their foolish doubt


They need to stop and catch their breath
Take score of all in sight
Consider what comes after death
And if their lives are right


Its time to stop and take a stand
It's time to look above
It's time to leap from Satan's hand
Into the arms of love
