A Stanza for Salvation
In
the approaching end times that are certainly coming
Every
fixed eye should always be looking.
Every
prepared word should be as a crusading witness
To
family, friends and strangers.
We
neither know the allotted time or place.
This
we are informed with prophetic grace.
But
the Prince of Peace Himself will appear,
When
many will search the skies with hidden fear.
But
spare if you will a single tear for the lost,
For
they will it appears suffer the most.
Certainly
many a proud self-congratulating Saint
Will
learn to his eternal shame that he is just a plain Aint!
For
the chosen blessed elect who have lovingly prayed
Their
wait for His return should now no longer be delayed!
Then
all the saved will praise and proclaim,
His
powerful and everlasting perfect name.
So
until the clouds are painted in perfect formation,
Many
will it seems stumble on the road to non-salvation.
And
many it seems will blaspheme. And curse and yell!
Dwelling
in their lusts that will lead to the darkened doors of Hell.
Then
screaming, many will shout, protest and petition and plead:
Why
me? Wasn't I generous? Never once did I promote greed!
But
all that they will remember is the voice of the Lord as He commands:
"DEPART
FROM ME I NEVER KNEW YOU" (Matt. 7:21-23.)
Today,
dear lost friend, are you drowning in shame?
Was
life one long pleasure frame?
If
so on this chosen day turn to Jesus.
Fall
to your knees and remember the price that once voluntarily was offered by Him!
And
what of this night? If suddenly you were to die?
Will
you awake in His comforting arms, or sadly stand afar and sigh,
At
that feint vision in Heaven of the precious One. Who hung on that solitary cross?
Only
then will you understand that deepest of all personal loss.
Remember
that for all eternity you will then be cloaked in the stain of sin
But
reach for the loving hand now of Him Who knew no sin!
