Mark ("my words") - from chapter 13

I'd listened in, and heard what Jesus said..
..was after he was walking with his blokes.
They'd said, "..that's quite a building, check those stones,
out! What a sturdy looking thing it is!"

"No, don't expect this place you see to last.
It's only temporary, has a date.
The 'best before' will run out, in the end.
I'll shake your hand and tell you, this is fate."

He said, and when they asked him, 'cross from there,
as they were sitting on an olive mount.
"Please, tell us, so that us four now can hear,
when will all of these things, then come about?"

"Be careful!", so he said, "Now, listen in..
For, many will come who say they are me.
These phoney ones who claim to know the way,
I'm sure that if you look for them, you'll see.

And, kingdoms, countries, nations, go to war,
to fight in battles all around the place.
And, famines carry on, over a score.
It's only the beginning, just a taste.

Then, many who are 'round, will turn against,
the special ones of me, 'ek-lek-to-us'.
That means, elected, and these folks are mine.
They'll learn to be the subject of much fuss.

But, don't you worry, when they bring you in,
to criticize and force you to give up,
your ways. The Spirit, holy, will begin,
to give to you the words, so then, speak up!

And, all of you who listen, understand,
each one of you who sees the ugly thing,
that brings a broken, busted idol in,
and forces humans, precious, to begin,

to do the shameful thing, it is foretold,
I hope that you will see the meaning clear.
I trust I havn't said more than I should.
I doubt that if I wanted to, I could.

So, when you see it standing in that place,
then all of you who are out in the field,
must run and let your feet begin to race,
and don't turn back to grab the things you love.

And all of you who are out on the deck,
don't come back in to take a single thing.
And, all of you who are out on a walk,
don't wander back when you see darkness fall.

Again, I tell you, people will soon try,
to trick all you away, my precious ones,
It's therefore that I'm anxious that you'll hear,
these words, and also heed the things I say.

And, after these things happen, there will be,
great shaking, and much quaking on the Earth.
The lights above will stop giving their gifts.
And even twinkling stars will cease to live.

The sun, the moon, the powers which God made,
to hold it all together, will give out.
The fabric of the universe will tear.
It's then that all will see me coming in,

through clouds, and all my messengers I'll send,
to gather all of my elected ones."
...now, listen to this story, I will end,
with these two, even though I know there's more..

Now, take this story from the apple tree.
When spring is on, the leaves begin to grow.
The buds come out, and this is how I know,
that summer is not long ahead of me...

...a man I knew, called Summer had a place.
It was a massive cherry farm in Young.
He planned to go away, and left in charge,
a group of able men, and women too.

They didn't know which season he'd be back.
So, don't you think they kept it spick 'n span?
It's just like that, the master comes, so, Watch!
Be ready, you don't know the master plan.
