“弟兄们，你们却不在黑暗里，叫那日子临到你们像贼一样。你们都是光明之子，都是白昼之子，我们不是属黑夜的，也不是属幽暗的。所以我们不要睡觉，像别人一样，总要儆醒谨守。因为睡了的人是在夜间睡，醉了的人是在夜间醉。但我们既然属乎白昼，就应当谨守，把信和爱当作护心镜遮胸，把得救的盼望当作头盔戴上。因为神不是预定我们受刑，乃是预定我们借着我们主耶稣基督得救。” 帖撒罗尼迦前书５：４－９看门的人就是那些在基督徒中督促信徒们在这些方面儆醒的人，他们督促信徒们要做好准备，以在主到来时对自己的行为有所交代。
Rap| Be alert! Don't be numb!
For you don't know when the time will come It's like a man taking a trip And giving his servants some stewardship And tells the one at the door To keep watch. That is his chore. In evening or midnight, be ready, he warns Or when the cock crows, when the day dawns Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping Which in the end will lead to you weeping And this I say to you and to all Watch! Stay alert! Or else you may fall. |
