Christians Heed the Word of God
Christian children gather round
Hear the words the lord did say
Once you die your judgment bound
Too late to change, too late to pray
Jesus had a message bold
He died to say just what he said
Take care the poor, the sick the old
Keep your brother well and fed.
Defend the weak, the mild the meek,
Take care of those who are not able
Don’t kill or steal, do not ill speak
Invite all man to join your table.
This world is cruel, you’re meant to be
The messenger, God’s word proclaimed
Obey your faith and don’t be swayed
By Satan’s gifts of wealth and fame.
For once you’re gone, from Earth’s domain,
And stand before the pearly gates.
Your deeds are judged by god and all
Your life exposed not for debate.
Live well you Christian children now,
But heed your doctrine know it well,
The word demands your love of all
Your fellow man, or go to hell.
