Dearly Departed

He was one of those, you know, one who doesn't believe That is the life he chose, so easy for the world to deceive An atheist pure and through denying God's Glory everyday A conclusion he drew without ever once seeking His Way Well he got sick as next thing you know he ended up dead Life is so very, very quick as already your youth has fled Floating above as often heard but none of them could hear For not another single word that reality had become clear Then he was lead away by two as the fog became so thick And then what they started to say the words made him sick Soon they began ripping his skin..., yelling in pain, oh God! This was judgment for all his sin and so shouldn't seem odd But in the calling out of His Name the men just disappeared So did all that blame as Jesus and three Angels soon neared With his whole life laid bare before and told he must go back This is not some folklore but the story of what so many lack This man was extremely lucky as so we're all saved by Grace He certainly did come to see but many never leave that place Simply relaying a man's story who now has Jesus in his heart If you know not His Glory, it will be too late, once you depart
