My Book Is Open

Facing reality to night and I Don’t like what I see A man setting on a big throne With his eyes pointed at me. So many people standing around with Their heads hanging low I’m afraid what the Lord may say So in my heart I must go I tried to hide behind the crowd Didn’t want to know my fate The lord cried “come back!” For you my child it’s too late I starred at the other people faces And we all had the same look There’s no hope for us when God judge us from his book Liars, backbiters, fornicators, and all Slipping in the darkness, led to your fall My book is open so said the Lord Why didn’t you stop and examine your heart You can’t be with me, I forbid all sin I warn you daily before your end My book will judge your every secret fault Everything you took, everything you thought Beyond this door lies another door Once entered, your time is no more Every secret thing you thought you hid Every no good thing you ever did My book is open to send you in a mist Where you will never ever exist You hated your neighbor, lied to your friend Took church tithes, and didn’t amend You took from the poor and didn’t care You ignored me every time I were there You slept at night with lust on your mind I tried to correct you time after time My book is open to judge you and I will Your time is up, your faith now sealed My word will warn your family and friend If they fail to listen; my book will open again.

Excellent way to spread the good news to those who are lost. Love how you're in tune with your soul. Not everyone is knowledgeable of their sinful nature. As for me, I'm a work in progress!!
