Heaven and Hell

Whether we like it or not

Whether we agree or disagree,

Heaven and hell is a fact

Regarding our destiny.

The Bible makes it clear

That God created both,

Most people relish heaven

But hell everybody loathes.

Some say there is no hell

Others say hell is right here.

Then there are still others

Who neither opinion share.

Hell is a frame of mind

That’s what some opine,

Heaven is what you make it

Given the daily grind.

I would rather believe in hell

And discover there is none

Than believe to the contrary

And find out there is one.

Jesus describes hell as a place

Where the worm does not die,

He says the fire is not quenched

On his word we can rely.

Hell is an eternal destiny

Prepared for Satan and his angels

But those who reject the Lord Jesus

Will also burn like rubble.

That’s horrid I hear you say

And indeed it is so

But heaven is the alternative

And now I know you know.

Jesus talked about heaven too

In fact that’s where he resides,

Except one is converted

Entry to heaven will be denied.

There’re those who would prefer

That there’d be heaven and no hell

But hell became a reality

When Satan from heaven fell.

If Jesus be your Saviour

Then hell you need not fear,

Heaven is your destiny

And Jesus will get you there.

But if Satan is your guide

And Jesus you have rejected

You had better changed that view

Or hell is what can be expected.
