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