Can't you hear the bells?

Somewhere in the sands of time, I can faintly hear,
the victory of the saints and their praising cheer.
I can just hear them, those that are beyond this earth,
rejoicing in our Lord for the blessing of new birth!
The angels rejoice in victory everytime a lost one is found,
one who was destined to hell but now heaven bound.
God is calling to the lost and wayward,
for He is knocking on the door of their hearts, trying to be heard.
So many have plugged their ears and blindfolded their eyes,
from the voice of the Lord as He beckons and cries,
"Ye sinners of this world, hearken to my voice,
come unto me, seek my glory, you do have a choice.
Repent of your ways and I will give life through me,
that will be known far beyond this world into endless eternity!"
Can you hear His voice as He calls you home,
as His love is overflowing from the glory of His throne?
The angles sing in melodious harmony unto God our King,
while their joy spreads to the tips of their wings!
God's elite are saddling their horses and preparing the way,
for the return of Christ on that glorious day.
It will not be long before the clouds of heaven break apart,
as He returns for those who have Him as Savior in heart.
I can hear it, this day is surely to come,
as all of heaven and God's glory protrudes from His precious Son.
The countdown has begun and the ring of the bells lead to the hour,
when God will unleash all His majestic, awesome power.
Be ready, don't be asleep, make sure in your heart all is well,
because the end of time is chimming, can't you hear the bells?

Zechariah 14:20
On that day HOLY TO THE LORD will be inscribed on the bells of the horses,
and the cooking pots in the Lord's house will be like the sacred bowls in front of the altar.
