Are You Ashamed of Me

One night not too long ago when I was fast asleep I had a dream so vivid it touched my spirit deep I dreamed the Lord came to my house as any friend would do I saw that He was troubled and needed someone to talk to I said come in Lord please sit down; what brings You out this way He looked at me through tear stained eyes and then I heard Him say My Spirit is so heavy I'm burdened deep within Since the fall of man took place the world's been lost in sin I knew that I would come to earth to give each soul a choice To live with me forever or to turn away My voice For quite some time now it's been hard to sit upon My throne Look down on My churches and see what's going on Yes I did give man free will to choose which way he'd go But how will he decide if no one will let him know Eternal life is a gift it's up to everyone To choose My everlasting love or reject my Father's Son How I long for everyone to know My love for them Especially in the world today where things are dark and grim The problem is not many know I will forgive their sins All they have to do is ask Me; to their heart I will come in It really breaks my heart to see My children I have called Sit in silence when they know someone's against a wall What has happened to My church they used to share My love My Father and the angels were rejoicing from above Now the end is nearer than it's ever been It's time My people tell the world I will forgive their sin But if they only tell them one time a month or so For many it will be too late to choose where they will go Come on church I'm begging you to share Me with the lost Show them just how much I care and how My life it cost I am the only hope they have please help them find their way So they won't hear "Depart from Me" on that final judgement day
