April 9, 2020—
Today’s song of the day by Casting Crowns is a valuable warning that when we are not vigilant, sin and temptation creep up on us: “Waiting on the Night to Fall”
He knows you have the answers
But truth lies dusty on your shelf
And the sword that you could slay him with
Has become an ornament and nothing else
Today, as we approach Jesus’s death on Good Friday, let us remember why He had to die for us and resolve to fight back against the dark, with His help.
Thanks for listening today.
Here are the lyrics in full:
There's an old man living In the back of your woods tonight You forgot he was even there But you've never slipped his mind He's living off of scraps of you You never knew you left behind And as the sun goes down He rises with a smile He's waiting on the night to fall The old man's coming to call But you don't see the writing on the wall He'll never step out in the light No, he's just biding time And while you slumber He's gonna come and take it all He's waiting on the night to fall He's waiting on the night to fall He knows you have the answers But truth lies dusty on your shelf And the sword that you could slay him with Has become an ornament and nothing else You could put him back down in his hole in the ground But he knows you never will He's been around so long You got used to the smell He's waiting on the night to fall The old man's coming to call But you don't see the writing on the wall He'll never step out in the light No, he's just biding his time And as you slumber He's gonna come and take it all He's waiting on the night to fall He's waiting on the night to fall He knows he'll never have your soul But he will gladly rob you blind While you're feasting at his table He'll tie your hands and numb your mind He'll take you farther than you want to go He'll keep you longer than you want to stay And it will cost you More than you ever thought you'd pay He's waiting on the night to fall The old man's coming to call But you don't see the writing on the wall He'll never step out in the light No, he's just biding his time And as you slumber He's gonna come and take it all He's waiting on the night to fall He's waiting on the night to fall He's waiting on the night He's waiting on the night to fall The old man's coming to call But you don't see, You don't see, the writing on the wall Oh, he's waiting on the night He's waiting on the night to fall He's waiting on the night to fall
