Fearfully scared of truth on bottomless pit
awaiting me with its enclosing darkness, forever unlit ---
my soul succumbed to confession of nervousness whit
especially that I was guilty of iniquity’s blowing hit…
grateful to God for His compassion declared by holy writ
I clung to Him by faith; cleaved to His offered grace to make me spiritually fit.
Horrified by frightening wrath of terrifying hell*
along awful worms that die not in the lake of fire as well
surpassing eerie Halloween shows with unnerving bell ---
my heart, at first skeptic, admitted shock for eternal torment’s swell
I trusted the Lord for reaching me so in heaven I can dwell…
now, His love I gladly share; His warning, I’m not scared to tell.
*Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
