The Watchman

“A prophet is a watchman on the tower, protecting us from
spiritual dangers we may not see.”

Neil L. Andersen

If you want to go through life without a single clue

As to what your enemies are planning now to do

Then disregard the warning voice of prophets, by all means,

And put your trust in feeble man and all his bright machines.

And if you think the spirit world is nothing but benign

And so you don’t need any shield from what they will design,

I have a little newsflash for you that will freeze your heart --

You have an adversary there who’s poised with blazing dart!

To heed the words of prophets will not bankrupt anyone.

Pondering their counsel keeps the devil on the run.

I’ve never yet regretted any choices that I’ve made

From following the prophet through the sunlight and the shade.
