If I Die Tonight My Message To Be

If I die tonight my message to be
With it’s grace I clearly see 
an escape in Zephaniah 2;3

In this life that I reside 
humbled and sometimes I pride 
I have my morals ethics provide 
Both written and unwritten laws required 
This life so long death eludes me
The grace for laws religion accuses me 
I cannot find words for this mercy 
Except for my Lord made it His courtesy
For God so loved the world this way 
to pardon me for the life I display
You ask me why I believe this invisible force
where many don't believe the invisible course
I cannot explain when I hear His voice 
they think I imagine but I have no choice
The spirit beside me, inside me lives 
only I know when it gives and what it gives 
Not only salvation come to me 
but the promise by my side He will always be 
Though troubles like David encompass 
I just like David pray and believe 
Not rare is this gift given me 
the old still faithful that bend the knee 
Those that hide in their righteousness 
that we see their parents did not confess 
In the book of Zephaniah would rest there
The answer to the question not declared
For muslims and jews everywhere  
A would be a hiding place there
On that day of The Lord it shall be
