The Choice
When you come to the end of your road, when your life on earth is o'er,
What lies ahead for you dear friend? What's behind that door?
Shakespeare said that no one knows, but, that is just not true
For it is certain as life itself, heaven or hell await you.
The odd thing is, the choice is yours, you decide where you go
That's right, I said, the choice is yours, but there's something you must know
God has said "the wages of sin, is eternal death".
And He said that "all have sinned", so when you take that final breath.
You will go straight to hell, to pay the penalty,
For sin is an abomination, to the Deity.
But, you say, that's not right, you said I have a choice!
You're right, you do, now here is something o'er which you can rejoice.
You see, my friend, God loves you, and doesn't want to see
You end up burning in hell, for all eternity.
So in love He sent His Son, to die in your stead
And for your sins He paid your price, and for your sins He bled.
Jesus was your sacrifice, He who did no wrong,
Was condemned to hell itself, right where you belong.
So you see, you have a choice, you have the right to choose,
But simply sit back and do nothing, and you will surely lose.
You must make a choice you see, choose heaven or choose hell,
Just know this, you won't get to heaven by simply doing well,
Neither if you go to church tho' you go by day and night
Neither by praying a lot or trying to live just right.
You must believe in Jesus Christ, He is the only way.
You must dedicate your life to trust Him and obey.
You must believe with all your heart that He died for you
And that He will save you if you but ask Him to.
So repent today my friend, turn your back upon your sins,
Choose today to follow Christ and to trust in Him.
He won't disappoint you, He'll never let you down.
He said He would never leave you He'd always be around.
So you see today my friend, you have a choice to make,
You can choose eternal life or make a big mistake,
by simply doing nothing you are choosing anyway
You are choosing eternal death and it's penalty you must pay.
Choose the way of eternal life, refuse to walk in sin,
For it will only satisfy, for a moment and then...
That cold dark gulf, that fiery abyss will surely swallow you
And it will last for eternity, the choice is up to you.
So make the choice for Jesus, give meaning to your life,
And find the peace you never knew, by trusting Jesus Christ.
