Quickly the days that are numbered pass by,
So quickly the days of God's judgement draws nigh,
So heedless of danger, we're living today,
God's love and mercy we're throwing away.
Men are so busy with worldly achievements, the mercies of Jesus they daily down trod,
God in his Heaven, he must look down in pity on those who've so carelessly forgotten their God.
Well, he warned of the dangers that lie in their path, but they heed not his mercy and they kindle God's wrath,
Pleasure of this world is their only care,
For where you have pleasure, their hearts will be there.
Men are so busy with worldly achievements, mercies of Jesus they daily down trod,
God in his Heaven, he must look down in pity on those who've so carelessly forgotten their God.
He said that his kingdom was not of this world, so what is the profit of silver and gold?
So cheap it will seem on that great judgement day, when fire and great heat will melt it away.
Men are so busy with worldly achievements, the mercies of Jesus they daily down trod,
God in his Heaven, he must look down in pity on those who've so carelessly forgotten their God,
On those who've so carelessly forgotten their God.
(Thanks a lot. A lot of Hank Williams tunes. No, huh? All the youngsters don't want this sort of thing. This is the one...this is one of these ones he did as Luke the Drifter, okay? It was his gospel pseudonym. They though back then that if he recorded gospel tunes nobody would buy them under his name, so he changed he changed it to Luke the Drifter and did some wonderful pieces. It's too bad that he couldn't gain the comfort from them that he gave.)
