So few will find eternal rest <br />So few will find true Peace <br />So few will pass God’s simple test <br />Bringing from death release <br /> <br />The devil’s fruit they’ll reap instead <br />The bible tells it well <br />No dropp to drink no meat or bread <br />Within the bowels of hell <br /> <br />There’s no release from Satan’s cage <br />No grace and no parole <br />Eternal is the painful wage <br />Of each polluted soul <br /> <br />Rebellious hearts are hard as stone <br />Putrid their wayward mind <br />Foul stench will ooze from flesh and bone <br />When in the pit confined <br /> <br />Within such filth’s no the hope of death <br />No peaceful longed for tomb <br />But stench and torment breathe for breathe <br />Screaming in the gloom <br /> <br />Where else for souls with no remorse <br />Who’ve lived for selfish gain <br />The Lord remains but one sole course <br />If righteousness should reign <br /> <br />Yet some will say “This cannot be <br />God’s not a God of fear” <br />Failing to know they cannot see <br />And have no ears to hear <br /> <br />It’s by God’s grace The Truth is seen <br />Through Heaven’s love divine <br />Promised and given Jesus’ queen <br />To drink like precious wine<br /><br />Michael P.
