Will Jesus Find Us Watching?

 

                        Will Jesus Find Us Watching?

We know that God watches over us day and night. But are we aware that Jesus is coming soon and we need to be watching for Him? We don’t know when He is coming so we need to prepare ourselves for this expected visitor. We need to live as if every day is the day He will come to take us home with Him. Our lives should be in a way that when He comes, He can truly say, “well done.” Whatever you do in your daily walk be sure it is God’s way so that He will find you watching for Him.

Lyrics by Fanny J. Crosby, arranged by William H. Doane

“When Jesus comes to reward His servants, whether it be noon or night, faithful to Him will He find us watching, with our lamps all trimmed and bright?

If, at the dawn of the early morning, He shall call us one by one, when to the Lord we restore our talents, will He answer thee, “Well done”?

Have we been true to the trust He left us? Do we seek to do our best? If in our hearts there is naught condemns us, we shall have a glorious rest.

Blessed are those whom the Lord finds watching, in His glory they shall share; If He shall come at dawn or midnight, will He find us watching there?

Oh, can we say we are ready, brother? Ready for the soul’s bright home? Say, will He find you and me still watching, waiting, waiting when the Lord shall come.”
