O Sleeper


Well it's been a long time since I've posted on here! Had writers block lately I guess! But yeah, I wrote this today after just thinking about how we as the Church can play "church" so well that we forget that we're Christians and can actually lull ourselves to sleep with our fake doctrines and such. Which is probably one of the main problems facing the Church in my generation. So... yeah here goes nothing!

O Sleeper, when will you rise? The Earth how she quakes, the sky crimsoning! But this isn't the end, no not yet. You sleep in peace, or what you've come to call peace, as the world around you shakes and as the world around you burns. O Sleeper, the labor pains have come! O precious fear, o precious end. What? So you still refuse to wake, as the cold grows dark and the dark grows deep. O Sleeper, rise! The eastern sky has now broken wide with a ramming blast. And for Saint and Sinner alike the past come to be shown. O Sleeper, what was the point? While you slept you lulled the world around you into a coma. You lulled yourself into the night. Only to find day break too soon and you unprepared, o Sleeper.

"... Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead and Christ will give you light." -Ephesians 5:14
