Keep Watch

Many years ago while I lived on the Isle of Skye there was a minister who spoke on how we should w.a.t.c.h, for Jesus had said ‘Watch and pray.’

The watchman upon the wall.

Stand or fall?

Fiery darts aimed at all.

Keep watch dear friend, 

Keep watch

The tongue a viper, 

the wayward steps, stumbling, 

lost, 

thoughts frenzy, 

tears fall, 

lost, alone, 

a war within and a war without.

Keep watch dear friend,

Keep watch

Watch

Words,

Actions,

Thoughts,

Companions,

Heart.

Watch

Keep watch dear friend,

Keep watch

The watchman upon the wall.

Stand or fall?

Fiery darts aimed at all.

O I stumble, o how I fall!

I can’t do it alone my Lord

Keep watch dear God,

Keep watch of this heart of mine.
