Twila Paris's song 'Watch and Pray' is a worshipful call to remain vigilant and faithful as believers await Christ's return. The lyrics warn of the enemy's prowling and urge listeners to stay spiritually awake, holding to faithfulness and prayer. The song emphasizes the uncertainty of the hour and encourages readiness for the Bridegroom's coming, picturing His return in glory to take His bride, the church. It blends themes of watchfulness, prayer, and hope, drawing on biblical imagery of the second coming and the parable of the wise and foolish virgins.

The enemy roams
Like a roaring lion
Looking for the sleeping
Looking for the sleeping
When he comes here
Let him find us keeping our promises
Holding to faithfulness
Down on our knees, eyes to the east
Watch and pray
No one knows the moment
No one knows the hour
Or the day
Watch and pray
Till you see Him coming
Coming through the clouds in white array
To take His bride away
The King will appear
With a shout of glory
All the earth awaking
All the earth awaking
Until He comes
Let us keep on taking the highest ground
Listening for the sound
Down on our knees, eyes to the east
Watch and pray
No one knows the moment
No one knows the hour
Or the day
Watch and pray
Till you see Him coming
Coming through the clouds in white array
To take His bride away
Behold the Bridegroom
Behold the Bridegroom
He is coming soon
Prepare Him room
Watch and pray
No one knows the moment
No one knows the hour
Or the day
Watch and pray
Till you see Him coming
Coming through the clouds in white array
To take His bride away
Watch and pray
No one knows the moment
No one knows the hour
Or the day
Watch and pray
Till you see Him coming
Coming through the clouds in white array
To take His bride away
Watch and pray
Till you see Him coming
Coming through the clouds in white array
To take His bride away
