The Gospel of Fear

If you, my friend, need some encouragement
Then avoid the gospel of fear
Your faith needs steadfast nourishment
We have trials coming near

God never wanted us as robots
Or slaves to His regime
He wanted nothing less then freedom
And salvation for you and me

What's hell? It's being preached
And it's often not of God 
If you find yourself there my friend
Take heart: 
You're alive in Satan's jaws

"For the wages of sin is death;"
And not too many want to die
But if you can't stand the Force that gives you life
You won't want to be alive

And that my friend is hell
Willing God to put you down
Let's you and me, the two of us
Make our decision now

The wicked will turn to ashes
God takes no pleasure in their pain
I would contend with you today my friend
The God of Jesus is humane

His patience is a miracle 
But judgement will be soon
Your another soul and a gift to my heart
Tell me, what will you do?

Romans 6:23 KJV For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
