Are You Ready For Christ Return
Are You Ready?
Many in church aren't
ready for Christ' return,
Holiness in their lives must be learned.
Many attend each Sunday,
and go to every class.
But outside church, their spiritual
candle burns out fast.
Everyone thinks they're doing
fine and “o.k.”
As long as they give money
and sing and pray.
They soak in God's word and
memorize many verses.
You can see their Bible tucked
in behind their purses.
A sense of excitement stirs
each Sunday morning.
But many fail to heed God's somber warning.
Without holiness, no one shall
enter God's throne.
If Jesus came today—
they'd be left alone.
God knows the heart of man
is wicked deep within.
That's why Jesus said: “YOU MUST be born again.”
Be separate from the world's
wicked and sinful ways.
“Be ready for my coming” is what Jesus says.
At God's house, his divine
judgement shall start.
Live for Jesus NOW—love him with all of your heart.
Keep this important thought in mind.
If he came now—would you go—or be left behind?
