From the recording You'll Be Called Home
For me, walking alone, or just with my dog, is often a trigger for songwriting. I was walking last week when these lyrics and melody popped into my head. I didn't think too much of them at first, but they grew on me .....and so I decided to try out a recording.

Lyrics
Be on guard
You do not know
The day or hour
You'll be called home
Whether at dawn
When the cock crows
At dusk or midnight
You won't be told
The day or hour
You'll be called home
So be prepared
For death to knock
And call you home
To meet your God
Make peace within
Make peace without
Repent your sins
So you'll be found
Without a stain
And undefiled
Do not delay
The time is now
Repeat 1st two verses
