| LET ME NEVER BE THE SAME Judgment day had come and I stood before the Lord Certain that I'd done my best I awaited my reward Jesus looked at me and I just melted inside Son, He said Let's see what works will survive Lord, you know I attended every Sunday, even listened to the Preacher Heck I sometimes got up early for Sunday School and showed up to hear the teacher Jesus looked at me with eyes of fire I felt so ashamed So what did you do with all this knowledge? How did you use my name? Was my name used for cursing or was it used to bless? The screen played before me. My secret thoughts and actions were there to see I looked down ashamed , I couldn't look Him in the face I felt so awful, totally disgraced Lord I said I gave my tithe and offering, I know I've lived a good life Jesus said, son how did you treat your wife? Have you loved the children I blessed you with? Have you loved the ones to you I sent? But Lord I was so busy, had to work so hard and long to pay such steep rent Jesus answered, Where have you invested your money, and your time into things that rust or into things eternal? Have you invested in things on earth? Piled up on your c.d.s? Or have you invested more in things in heaven ? Things that glorify me? Son I love you and know that you love me too. That I can tell But my son if you loved your friends why didn't you tell them about hell? I awoke in a cold sweat! Thank God it was just a dream It shook me to my foundations! Shook me to my seams! With Gods help I'll do better More of Jesus less of me I don't want to be ashamed when his face I see. Wood hay and stubble will all burn away. Only that done for the lord will stay. |
