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.
