            T'was The Night Before y2k

                 

            T'was the night before y2k
            and all through the house
            we all were in hiding,
            me, my kids, and my spouse.

            The firewood piled
            floor to ceiling with care
            the cupboards all packed
            with non-perishables to spare.

            The windows were barred
            to protect us from looters
            our new generator is safe
            cause it has no computers.

            We've bought lots of gold
            should the dollar collapse
            and run up those credit cards
            right to the max.

            And just in case the banks should all crash,
            we closed our account and spent all the cash
            on dried foods and water for our Y2K stash.

            As the clock ticked toward midnight,
            we knew we'd soon learn
            the doomsayers were right,
            it would all crash and burn.

            Stretched out in my chair
            with my gun in my lap,
            I decided to take
            a pre-Y2K nap.

            I fell fast asleep
            and then, without warning
            I opened my eyes
            and it was new year's morning!

            The lights were still on
            the TV worked too,
            on all the news channels
            there was nothing new.

            The only news
            that sounded so bad,
            was the realization
            I'd been y2k-had.
            What I thought was survival
            was now but a fad.

            I stepped out the door
            and looked cross the street
            my neighbor said,
            "Man, you look white as a sheet."

            "What's wrong?" he inquired
            and I told him that I
            was so shocked now to learn
            the doomsayers had lied.

            He smiled and said "Friend,
            I know what you mean
            I too could have worried
            `bout the Y2K scene,
            but since I've met Jesus
            I don't worry so much
            He controls my tomorrow
            and in Him I trust."

            His confidence moved me
            and caused me to think,
            Now I'm trusting in Jesus
            My Savior and King.
            He's far more reliable,
            than that Y2K thing.
