OH LITTLE
TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
(When the bride groom returns)
…………There Is a Call in the Four Corners of the
Earth
Oh little town of Bethlehem
(You), oh little light from within,
Looking like another side of night.
Darkness has swept the peace of light from her heart.
We live in this world above our deep and dreamless sleep as
a giant star lights up the sky (Jesus) and while you were lying in the dark He
shines an everlasting light. “For the king has left His throne and is sleeping
in a manger…” See His birth, a King of all Kings, A king who came to Die for
all, when He came He has no room prepared for Him.
Oh Bethlehem
would you have missed while you were sleeping for God became man and step into
the world for the salvation of all. Would you have missed to prepare a room for
Him when He returns? Oh you Man, what have you gained in all conscious and obsessed
worldly lifestyle. Oh you Man, have not the world alone rejected the truth and
choose to stand for the pleasures that lead to death? Oh little town of Bethlehem
will you go down in History as a city with no room for his King while you were
sleeping?
The Father gave
His only son, they way, the truth and the life…..but there was no room for Him
in the world He came to save. Jerusalem
what have you missed while you were slumbering thinking the world and its
pleasures will never end. O no, the
world is just a few minutes away from destruction…a second away from ending. Where
are you?
The harvest is great and the
Labourers are few. Were are you when the
world says we want our freedom, where were you when the world craves for
material things, where were you when the world appeals so badly for sex, where
were you when the rich trample on the poor, where were you when a chip must be
inserted in you before you get medical attention, where were you when the world
fights for democracy, where were you when a little child was crying when his
parents were killed by massacres, where were you when young women are been
traffic away for prostitution, where were you when the crying world calls….
There is a call. Where were you? Will you answer the call?
The world
of darkness today, the bed of cries from the east, west, north and south…the
four corners of the earth. It’s yet another side of the night. The society pays
attention to the things that are worthless instead of saving human lives. They
save animals instead of children, they save trees instead, they save an
invention instead of saving human lives. Men have become the downfall of fellow
men, giants of ants.
And while you
were lying in the dark, there is a calling across the world…. For the bride groom has returned and has
carried His Bride away… where will you be found…..?
Oh little Jerusalem
will He return while you were sleeping. Will
Jesus return today, will He live us slumbering were we are. Will we go down in
the History as a city with no room for our king? Will we be sleeping? Will we
miss out? Will you be sleeping? The world on top another side of darkness…
there is a calling. Will you answer this calling? Jesus the saviour of the
world has died on the cross today for you. Would you believe in Him and take a
step? Jesus is coming.
In humility He came
In truth He thought
In mercy He healed
In love He saved
In shame He died
In victory He arose
and
In power He reigns.
