NOCs

Got some Name Only Christians
Just a knockin’ ’round
Actin’ like time’s aplenty
‘Til they go to the ground.

Oh, but it’s a-comin’
And not lookin’ pretty
Folks just playin’ around
Makin’ jokes, bein’ witty.
Oh yes it comes

Like that thief in the night
No warning, no second chance
Its over and you’re out
Without dealin’ with Him
The One who came down!
Didn’t mess around.

Took those whippin’s
And some kickin’s
And rose the hell right up!
And ain’t nothin’ can bring
Him down or stop you
From joinin’ Him forever.
Believe that.
