| When You Stand Before The Lord
The day will soon be coming To stand before the Lord God will hold the Book of Life Where all the names are stored. Look into the Saviour�s face Stand on holy ground Kneel before the King of Kings Pray your name is found. The time is nigh, it's drawing near Tis� closer than you think Eternal life with God above You�ll either rise or sink. God doesn�t care �bout bank accounts Or gems of pearl and jade Your style of home, the car you drive The money that you�ve made. He�s not concerned with age or height The color of your hair The number of the friends you have The brand of clothes you wear. He�ll ask you if you spoke His name Thought of Him each day Knew He gave His life for you Took the time to pray. He�ll know about your closest friends About the books you�ve read The kind of thoughts that fill your mind On what your spirit fed. He�ll take a look inside your soul He�ll go beyond your pride Your sins will be as crimson red There�s nothing you can hide. For once you�ve stood before the Lord He�ll see through every crack And if you were to die today There is no turning back. You'll gaze into His crystal eyes He knows the things you did There�s nothing you can keep from Him Your secret thoughts aren�t hid. So before you meet the Lord You better make it right Start by getting on your knees Kneel down to Him tonight. Get rid of all your worldly ways They�ll just lead you astray Find time to walk with Jesus The Truth, the Light, the Way. I�m telling you, it�s not too late God�s waiting up above To add you to His Book of Life In Heaven up above. When life on earth is over He�ll take one final look When the roll is called up yonder Will your name be in "The Book?" Written By: Marilyn Ferguson |
