Perdition Vs Salvation
Doomed,
grotesque,
decaying
corpses ~ swollen,
swarming with maggots,
emit agonizing
screams while Hell claims their damned souls.
Mangled bodies gasp their last breath.
Bloody corpses hang, blackened ~ pus-filled.
Vile laughter echoes: Satan reigns supreme.
God’s light shines down on me ~ shows me the way.
When I kneel to pray, He sends down hope
to fill my soul ~ grateful, healed, whole.
Love glows bright through dark of night.
Heaven’s choir of angels
join ’round the faithful.
God’s love’s in sight.
Salvation’s
promise…
saved.
