Message of the Gospel
I was standing at the seat of judgement, waiting for my turn
Thinking of the houses and the treasures I would earn
Thinking of how I'd lived my life just as a Christian should
Thinking of how I'd always done what was right and what was good
I knew that when my turn would come with the Father and the Son
They would look at my life and me and say to me "Well Done"
I knew that I was blameless, and my life beyond reproach
I got more excited as my time began to approach
But just then I looked around and whom should I see,
But the lady that I worked with, just down the hall from me
We always passed each other with a wave and a smile
And when the time would allow we would chat for a little while
We would talk about our jobs, our kids, and various little things
Our conversations always pleasant and laughter it would bring
Just then she looked up, and her teary eyes locked with mine
And my smile faded when I realized she was in the other line
She began to speak the words that broke my heart in two
It pains me now to remember as I share these words with you
She said "Why didn't you tell me about the God that you do know,
You went to church each week but never invited me to go?
You never told me of his saving mercy that he died on the cross
And now it is to late for me and my soul's eternally loss
I see you saved yourself and that you are among the chosen few,
But tell me, couldn't you have made an effort, to try and save me too?"
Just then I sat straight up in bed, my heart pounding in my chest
Thank God it was just a dream, but my spirit still couldn't rest
I realized that I couldn't keep my God a secret among friends
But that I must learn to always share the hope that the gospel ends
Not to wait until it is too lateGo and tell everyone you meet that your God is so, so great!
