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!
