Lonely Dark and Painful

The holy inerrant word of God
declares all who just won't believe
the gospel for their eternal good
Christ's salvation they won't receive

For those their judgement is just
they will be sent to everlasting hell
lonely dark and painful so it be
such agonies never able to quell

To think they could've accepted Christ
that every day to carry His cross
what blessed privilege would've been
but so sadly it's their eternal loss

No one knows hells real true reality
with many tears one can only ponder
Lord save those still in darkness
bring light to the lost out yonder

'A single day in hell will be worse than a whole life carrying the cross' - J.C. Ryle
