For God the world shows little fear
Her children wander blind
But when death’s veil draws finally near
They’ll seek to change their mind
“Too late, too late” could be the cry
“Life’s raiment’s firmly torn”
Within hell’s flame they’ll seek to die
But death will see no dawn
Yet Jesus’ arms are Heaven’s doors
Held wide to one and all
But most content in Satan’s claws
Continue still to fall
Draw near to life through Christ God’s Son
Come as you are right now!
Receive God’s strength, life’s race to run
When at His feet you bow
Nearness to God brings death to shame
His love brings joy and peace
Close, as the mention of His name
Our lives will fail to cease
Accept God’s Lamb as Lord and King
Believe with heart and soul
Who then in truth love’s song can sing
He’ll save and make them whole
God’s sifting out His chosen few
He’s pruning Jesus’ vine
Severing branches void of Dew
Who’d ruin Salivation’s wine
Who’s heart is not The Father’s will
Who’s deeds are Satan’s fruit
The Wind of truth will blow until
They’re severed from “The Root”…
