BOOGIE MAN

 

Mark 13:24-37

 

 

BOOGIE MAN

 

 

 

WHEN A MOTHER

HEARS HER TODDLER CRY OUT

BECAUSE SHE’S TOUCHED THE STOVE

DESPITE COUNTLESS WARNINGS

SHE’S NOT HAPPY WITH PROPHECY’S FULFILLMENT

 

NOR DOES MOTHER GOD

FIND JOY IN A SINNER’S DEATH

SHE’LL TRY ANY APPROACH

EVEN PLAYING THE BOOGIE MAN

TO BRING THE SINNER BACK

 

LIKE A DRUMBEAT

SHE KEEPS SAYING

SEEK YOU FIRST

MY KINGDOM

THIS GOLD YOU SEEK

IS ONLY YELLOW SAND

SLIPPING THROUGH YOUR FINGERS

 

LET NOT THE SUN

GO FROM THE SKY

WITH SIN UN-REPENTED

 

THEN YOU WILL

NOT NEED A BOOGIE MAN

NO

BUT YOU WILL HAVE

 

A MOTHER WAITING FOR YOU

AT THE DOOR

TO LET YOU IN.
