If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for. Charles Spurgeon You don’t believe what I believe And that worries me Some Not because I’m narrow-minded But because I’m someone Who loves, who knows The One who saved my soul from sin… Without Him, without His grace Without the faith to see He’s the way… You won’t find heaven is home When you go Instead You’ll meet the demons of hell, The darkness of an existence Without Him, the reason I am living – to share life’s meaning Without Him, the One who I believe Without His light, His love, His way… You won’t know what it means to know The joy of the soul, the peace That is beyond description, The love that is His gift…. And, most importantly, you won’t know What it means to feel His presence Eternally, forever, stirring The flames of the spirit, So there is an endless blessing Poured out in this place called heaven, This place that is home to those who believe, Those who see the need For a Savior Who frees Souls from sin, from immorality, iniquity That promises only to bring them Into the presence of demons, Without seeing, the meaning Of living… Giving others the gift Of a testimony, a message Brought to the light by those who see Beneath the prayers, beyond the praise There lives a love that is sent by His grace, There lives a hope that, when we meet with death, There is a place where Jesus is the King, A place… Where Jesus rules, where love is good Where the heart can find The meaning of life The only true light, Jesus Christ… The reason I’ll always try The reason I’ll keep giving my best The reason I’m sure to pass life’s test. My testimony is simply this… Listen, friend, in the end It is the heart without sin, The heart forgiven by Him Who will surely win… in the end, those who trust the One who pardons our sins… Will never grieve because they’ve believed! I’ll testify so you’ll see… with Jesus, the future for me, beyond the fears and tears, to the promise of eternal bliss. Because He lives, my soul is rich Because He is… I am blessed beyond words I am welcomed into the home He built With love that silences all my guilt, Restores me into a relationship with Him, The One who, it seems, is the only friend I’ll ever need! But, He is the friend who stirs a spark inside A spark of love for those who need to see Because of Him, there is hope for eternity, There is hope for you and me There is hope that can’t compare…. It is the truth, meant for those who see Past the shadows of doubt, To eternity with that light who never goes out!
