Every Secret Thing God Will Rightly Judge - Ecclesiastes 12: 14

In the garden way back at the beginning
Mankind was in Adam, falling into sin
this is an awesome thought, just to think
but for God's love, we'd be left in the bin

When we spurn God's love so splendid
we mark ourselves for the judgment day
for then God says I've seen all you've done
from your birth till the last word you say

Think indeed very long and hard
ponder much on these solemn warnings
while you've got breath to turn around
before time's up on your eternal morning

Run into the arms of the Lord Jesus
for He seeks to save you from hell
wishing you to never to be lost
but to be rescued for heaven to dwell

All our works God will judge
whatever good will bring His reward
this God is fair and full of truth
the Lord is right, shows His sharp sword

(Ecclesiastes 12:14
English Standard Version
For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.)
