PLANT A TREE

PLANT A TREE


IN THE EARLY CHURCH
THE FEELING WAS
THAT CHRIST WAS COMING SOON

MARK SAYS
THIS GENERATION
WILL NOT PASS AWAY
UNTIL ALL THE THINGS
HAVE TAKEN PLACE

SO EITHER WE HAVE A BAD TRANSLATION
OR A BAD INTERPRETATION
BECAUSE
IT DIDN’T HAPPEN

WE HAVE PEOPLE
SEEING THE END OF THE WORLD
AT EVERY BEND OF THE ROAD

THEY SERVE A GOD WHO IS ANGRY
WHO DELIGHTS IN PUNISHMENT
A BOOGIE MAN FOR THE AGES

SUCH A GOD
I WOULD FIND IT HARD TO LOVE

BUT LET’S READ MARK AGAIN

THE MASTER IS GOING AWAY
HE LEAVES HIS SERVANTS IN CHARGE
HE SAYS IN EFFECT

MAKE ME PROUD
BE WORKING WHEN I COME BACK

THAT’S THE ADMONITION FOR END TIMES
BE WORKING WHEN I COME BACK

IT’S LIKE THE FOLK TALE ABOUT LUTHER

IF I KNEW THAT TOMORROW
WAS THE END OF THE WORLD
I WOULD PLANT AN APPLE TREE TODAY

THE KEY WORD
IS STAY AWAKE

 WORKING

HE HAS LEFT US
IN CHARGE OF HIS KINGDOM

 WE HAVE TREES TO PLANT
