The Choice

When all's been said, the last song has been sung,
Your mortal life has forever passed away.
Then you  will stand before the Holy One
To view how you have lived come judgement day.
Will you then say "My Dad" it's done as asked."
If that is so, "He'll say come enter in."
Or will the sight of Him be now your last,
Because all you life you've lived in sin?
Will His reward for you then surely come,
Because in Him our lives have been redeemed.
To find eternity that's lost or won--
Now will He say, "I love you son" or seem
Or seem so cold and cruel if He says "who are you"?
To know Him is your choice who's love is true.
