The Lord awakens me with music and lyrics of “Not Fade Away” (Buddy Holly, 1957), for this is actually God singing a love song to us:

I’m a-going to tell you how it’s going to be
You’re gonna give your love to me
I want to love you night and day
You know my love will not fade away
A-well, you know my love will not fade away

My love a-bigger than a Cadillac
I try to show it and you drive a-me back
Your love for me got to be real
For you to know just how I feel
A love for real, not fade away

I’m a-going to tell you how it’s going to be
You’re gonna give your love to me
I want to love you night and day
You know my love will not fade away
A-well, you know my love will not fade away

Then, during intercessory prayers, he has these words for us:

            I have the watch! Yet you must be on heightened alert and Do Not Fall Asleep!
