Have you considered this
That today could be your last?
Where will you spend eternity
When this life is passed?
Will it be with the Saviour
Who died to make you whole
Or will it be with the devil
Who wants to damn your soul?
What is there to hold you back
From making the decision now
To give your life to Jesus
And in penitence to him bow?
Now is the acceptable time,
Of the future there is no guarantee
And even if there is tomorrow
You might not be around to see.
Permit me to be a little morbid
And press the point right home,
Many have an appointment with death
Today may be your own.
Then again it might not be
But you and I do not know,
It is better to be safe than sorry
I feel the urge to tell you so.
Today if you will hear His voice
Harden not your heart,
Give Christ access to your soul
Before from this life you part.
The initiation is very simple
But certainly not the life,
Spiritual backbone is essential
For the devil will unleash his strife.
It is a deceptive fallacy
That Christianity is for sissies,
My brother and sister I assure you
It’s beyond your abilities.
But in God all things are possible
Even a successful Christian life,
Once you give to him your hand
He’ll take you through the strife.
The fact of the matter is
In this life there will be trouble,
It doesn’t matter whose you are
It comes to all earth’s people.
The plus on the believer’s side
Is that the Holy Spirit dwells within,
He will nurture that believer
And guide him through thick or thin.
You can obtain this assurance
If you do not have it yet,
Just confess your sins to Jesus
The sin price he has already met.
Confess he’s the only Saviour
And thus, he’s the only way,
His arms are open to welcome you
Just accept him today.
If there were only one sinner
Jesus would still have come
To bring God’s wonderful salvation
To that one undeserving son.
There’s joy up in heaven
Over one sinner that repents,
Today you could be that sinner
Accept the Son that was sent.
