STORY
I saw a Planned Parenthood billboard with (of all things) a sperm cell saying, "You can't
keep me out!" I never thought I'd see something like that in public. I said to myself, 'We must be living in the last days!' Immediately, the tune and words came to me.
I wrote them down on a little piece of paper that was on the floor in my van. I picked the tune out on my piano soon as I got home that day!
LYRICS
We are livin' in the last days;
Livin' in the last days!
We are livin' in the last days,
Let's get ready for the day of Jesus Christ.

VERSE ONE
Said I'm running for my Jesus
Ain't got time to turn around
Gotta tell all people what I've learned of Him
And I've got my armor on
And no devil's gonna block me
Striving for what's right looking ahead

We are livin' in the last days
(Get your house in order)
Livin' in the last days
(The Savior's coming soon!)
Livin' in the last days
(We must work before it's night)
And get ready for the day of Jesus Christ.

VERSE TWO
Come along all ye people
Men and women, boys and girls
Put the Cross before and leave the world behind
Let us follow on to know Him
See the brightness of His coming
We will see our Savior in the clouds!

We are livin' in the last days
(The signs are all around us)
Livin' in the last days
(Christ is coming soon)
Livin' in the last days
We must work before its night
And be ready for the day of Jesus Christ!

Last days, last days.
Last days, last days.
Last days, last days;
Let's get ready for the day of Jesus Christ.
