Woe to the World

"Woe to them that are at ease... that put far away the evil day.... which rejoice in a thing of nought" (Amos 6:1,3,13). "And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth" (Revelation 8:13).

Woe to the world yet taking its ease,
Thinking that judgment is so far away.
Woe to the people refusing to seize
The gift of salvation God offers today.

Woe the world that will not repent,
Rejoicing in temporal pleasures of nought.
Judgment will come and time will be spent:
Then what shall become of the treasures it sought?
