Since the Garden of Eden

Eternal souls in temporal tents Spiritual battles that won’t relent. Good the desire, evil conspires God is drawing and Satan clawing And eternity hangs in the balance. The unseen is seen in wicked schemes Beheadings, pillaging, broken dreams. Good is the goal, yet evil controls Jesus is calling and demons gnawing While eternity hangs in the balance. What is the source of all division? Good versus evil- and indecision. Is man the culprit or the puppet? Spiritual realms are at the helm! And eternity hangs in the balance. The Deceiver spins His demonic whims The power that holds you? …your sin. Is there hope, how can we cope? In this state of affairs, does God really care? While eternity hangs in the balance. The desire of God is salvation. Sins destroys people and nations. Jesus the Savior, receive Him and savor The freedom of knowing His Kingdom And eternity hangs in the balance. Your have the choice to receive or reject The free gift of God, to save and protect. We’re born into sin yet new life begins When repentance brings blessings relentless Your eternity hangs in the balance. Not of our works or self-righteousness Only through Christ and His sacrifice Comes the power we need for this hour To overcome evil and be redeemed people Our eternity hangs in the balance.
