TAKE YE NOW



TAKE YE NOW

We dance admist the fire
Around the walls of pride
Temptations rise us higher
Too many sins to hide

Devil hisses, the world dance
Screams, smoke, images entice
World's dying, it's only chance
Men tremble and flee like mice

Pounding drums, dancing flute
Even a Georgian fiddle plays
Bet our souls, Devil's loot
As we face the final days

But,and listen close
The song's way off key
Time's near, ole devil knows
Our chains break free

Many, to the music lost
Never see the sign
Dance right past the Cross
No fools like seeing blind

I…I won't dance any more
For the songs naught but pain
I turn instead to the door
Open it, and Heaven gain.

This day, the devils dance
Soon he too will bow
So take ye now this chance
Confess Jesus Lord now
AMEN
