Repent, because your day of reckoning is coming!

You can sure worry about the climate,
Or the next terrorist who may appear,
Gripped by government announcements,
It is so easy to be overcome by fear.
There are so many things to alarm us,
And bend us out of shape in a flash,
Oh, the jobless rate is still soaring,
Are we headed for an economic crash?
But fear has no place with Christians,
It is simply Satan’s tool to do us in,
We need to trust God on a daily basis,
So we’ll have His calming peace within.
