Every Second We Wait

Jesus came to die for our sins
So we wouldn’t have to pay for them
We need to show our families what he can do
In this life and the next one too

Every second we wait, we’re taking the chance
They could die in their sin, not have a next breath
Or they may die in their sleep, no time to repent
Every second we wait is already spent

To be forgiven, we all have the need
Lets don’t let our families down, lets show them the way
Our husbands, our children, and our grandkids too
They all need the Savior, they all need the truth

No reason to wait, Jesus died for their sins
Times getting short, the Lords coming soon
Show them what Jesus can do in your life
So they will want him to give them new life

This poem is not written to judge anyone
It comes from my heart and the Lord above
Make a difference so that they may see
So in the next life the circles complete
