You have just died!
You come to find yourself
standing at a bookshelf
when you notice that there
is a book that has your
name on it. What do you do?
What do you fear?
Do you open it?
What does it say?
*

This book holds the chronicles
of your life on earth
Each day that you spent
and if you gave it worth
An accounting you will find
marking off your every sin
A line by line list
of what you’ve done therein
But it does also hold
every person you did bless
A tally of your giving
and all your fruitfulness
And if there is balance
that by God is found
Then His grace to you
will more than just abound
As you are then forgiven
for the great and small
Errors that you have made
and times you did fall
For if you did more good
than what you’ve done bad
The reward will be great
in heaven to be had
Go ahead and open it
to see what is said
About where you will go
now that you are dead

Peccadilloes?
Yes, I
have a few
Some
are kept
out of view
Others
are seen
that’s very true
I’ve
accepted them
how about you?

Time now for the stranger
the one unknown to me
In the eyes of God
brother or sister you be
And even though you are
living your own reality
Know that it’s the heart
of us God does see
*
The heavenly Father above
knows both great and small
And His loving grace does
upon each of us fall
When God forgives our sins
He wipes from memory all
So when you’ve accepted Him
just remember to stand tall!

Remission
for the
sins we do

My love you can not buy
as means of fear to quell
‘Cause the tears I cry
a wealth of pain do tell
There’s nothing you can try
to dam a bursting well
When it’s all been a lie
in the world you dwell
If inch by inch to die
in a life of living hell
Would my own soul deny
for the evil it’d spell
This I will not do
in any shape or way
No matter what bribe you
offer as means of pay
For what was never true
is no longer shaded gray
When threats did once ensue
your sins to never betray
There’s no excuse to use
for the nasty things you’d say
Payment for which comes due
upon your soul one day!

All the things I have seen
All the places I have been
All the things that came between
All the times my slate wiped clean
All the things I didn’t mean
All the times on You I lean
All my mistakes since a teen
All the drugs from which to ween
All the days with hands unclean
All the sins I left unseen
All the seedy place I shouldn’t have been
Since my life did once begin
With my childhood left therein
Coins in my cup of tin
As You took away my sin
Where would I ever try to begin
That peace be found there within
Attempts for recognition among the din
A life of freedom there to win
Stacked a mile on head of a pin
My soul contains them there in
Those things that led me into sin
Made excuses for it all
Every time I dropped the ball
The many times to me You’d call
When to answer I would stall
Then You weren’t my all-in-all
What I did must You appall
That I did have such a gall
With my back against the wall
Never on my knees would crawl
Until I took a massive fall
And made to You my final call!

Hello, God? It’s just me
who’s calling out Your name
’cause Your most precious Son
said it’s mine to claim
I need help, You see,
and He said You would
no matter what I’ve done
whether it’s bad or good
Hello, God? Will You be
as loving as He said?
If I truly do repent
will those sins I shed?
I pray, God, to Thee
for the beauty of Your grace
to come down from heaven
and fill my empty space
Hello, God? It’s just me
saying that I love You
in case You are listening
’cause Jesus said You do
And more than can be
it’s important that You know
the love to me given
to the world I’ll show!

There is coming a predator
to knock upon your door
and say, “Let me in!”,
that he may then begin
to work his evil ways
while your innocence he betrays.
But please don’t open it,
this you can’t ever forget
his motive is to use
because he wants to abuse
and take advantage of you
if you’ll allow him to.
But you must always know
to beware wherever you go
of the predator who’s waiting
his hook he’s constantly baiting
wanting to reel you in
and devour you from within.
He preys upon the weak,
the innocent he does seek
to convince of his lies
because you he does despise
for being an easy victim
who opened up for him.
As if you gave your consent
to a desire that’s hell-bent
on the destruction of you
and all you hold dear too
though you’ve done him no harm
he’ll use his wiles and charm,
To get everything that he desires
to quench all the internal fires
that burn and drive him mad
but this is what’s so sad
’cause they will never go away
as long as he does betray,
The innocent souls out there
without a thought or a care
of the evil he has done
when damnation is what he’s won
where he’ll forever have to burn
when God does his soul spurn,
To pay for his wicked ways
for the rest of his days
there in the pit of hell
does he eternally have to dwell
as in accordance with his sins
then he’ll see who truly wins.
