Worship Warning
Let us worship and bow down,
Let us kneel before the Lord;
In knowing of His renown,
Being loved and adored.
Because He is our God,
We are sheep in His pasture;
The sheep to honor and laud,
To guide us through the rapture.
If you are hearing His voice,
Try not to harden your heart;
Feel the gladness and rejoice,
Let the gloominess depart.
When your fathers tempted me,
By putting me to the test;
For they wanted proof to see,
With the results of my quest.
For forty years long I grieved,
Loathing that generation;
But my faith I had believed,
I was a new creation.
We are sheep who went astray,
And meandered aimlessly;
Because not knowing God’s ways,
But feeling ashamedly.
The Lord swore upon His wrath,
They shall not enter His rest;
Aimlessly wandered the path,
Without results of their quest.
