Message to Laodicea

I have been watching all your works,
and I see you're a lukewarm crowd.
You should better be warm or cold,
that is my advice.

For you say to me you're wealthy and rich
and you think you have need of nothing,
but you do not understand
how poor and blind you are.

Because you're not aware,
aware of how naked you are.
But I can give you white robes to put on,
so that your shame may not be seen.

For look, I am waiting at your doorway,
giving a sign to all who're listening.
If you open up your door,
I'll come into your house today.

If you are wise and you take my advice,
I can give you some gold that is tested by fire.

For I am the true and faithful witness,
and I will rebuke and chasten
all those who are dear to me,
yes you're dear to me.

Be earnest and change your hearts and lives
and regret all your evil ways,
and I will give you oil for your eyes,
so that you may see again.

Because you're not aware
of how blind and lukewarm you are.
You are neither warm nor cold,
and I'll spit you out of my mouth.

For look, I am waiting at your doorway,
giving a sign to all who're listening.
If you open up your door,
I'll have dinner with you tonight.

If you are wise and you take my advice,
I can give you some tested and purified gold.
