Settle Out of Court

Some men's sins go before them to the Judgment Seat; Some men's sins follow after them with wailing and gnashing teeth To the hell of Hell where sinful memories they can not forget, To the fire of Hell where passion's flame is never quenched, For the worm will never die- none of them can satisfy the fire. Into Outer Darkness, Death and Hell's sentence will be required, And if you die in your sins, you will have an eternal Second Death In the Lake of Fire where decaying flesh receives back its breath. But for those who die in Christ, and those who remain in Christ, There's a promise of incorruption as immortals in Eternal Life. These are those who have settled out of the Court of the Law And have heeded this warning running from the danger they saw. When they believed, then, knew that on sin were their fingerprints, The Blood of Christ was applied to wash and erase all the evidence. Now there's no record of wrongs for the Great White Throne Judge, And they enter Everlasting Joy to feast in the Marriage of Love.
