Surrender is a must

For the Christian, so listen

There's something missing,

In God we Trust,

but who are we?

what is meant by land of the free?

Our gold will rust

grow old and cold while we turn to dust,

leave the earth behind

and find to horror and disgust

that hell isn't kind

its the final state of being blind

the loss of any and all comfort left behind,

the absolute clarity of knowing despair,

without charity, where no one will ever care

and knowing that no one will ever be there

to hold you again

to smile and share a grin

Its a constant state of loss with no win,

knowing that one choice could have freed you,

God doesn't need you

You need Him and life without JESUS, grim 

but now the voice of that choice screams within

because you have taken your last breath

and every fear is multiplied inside

knowing that you could have known God

when you heard how that man on the pier cried

and asked you to decide

to give your life to Jesus

and told you that He died

then rose from the dead so you could live

and love and be healed

but now the things that preacher said

are being revealed

and your dead and not healed

and could have known joy and bliss

but now you know the anguish of these memories

that you'll never again know a hug or kiss

and the real despair is the infinite miseries

of knowing that you are not His

and your choice is the voice that consumes your soul,

after you die and realize you could have been made whole,

but walked away from that nerd passing out the tracts

and didn't consider the facts,

and your heart has stopped beating

and now your memories consume you with grief

and having perfect recall of every comfort

yet without any relief

of the pain of knowing the difference between the two,

the emptiness of dying and being made aware through

the only thing that will continue

and that is consciousness knowing that you were a decision away

from eternal bliss and peace

and yet knowing now that there is no release

no hope or refrain

only consuming pain

all loss and no gain

no comfort of light or rain

or wind and clouds

for the darkness enshrouds the lost

but if you're reading these words,

Jesus paid the cost,

so ask him to be your Lord

because you can't afford

to take any more chances,

after seeing these brief glances

into the future of those who walk away

Eternal life and bliss is yours when you pray,

Jesus come into my heart, and show me the way,

I turn to Jesus as my Lord and Saviour today.
