The Last Day

There will be a great and notable day,
When the Lord of the universe will say,
Today you will come before My throne
Accounting for your life standing all alone.
He will ask what makes you worthy of eternal life?
And you will say when in His sight,
I was not perfect, but I was good.
I loved my family and did the best that I could.
Then realizing the truth you will declare,
No, my life was a mess when I was there.
Then in the most humble and perfect way,
Not thinking of yourself you will bow and say,
Jesus Christ, Your Son, died and rose for me.
Your Son is eternal life, that is the key.
I gave my life to Him and to His will,
I was bought with a price which He did fulfill.
Then God will say eternal life belongs to you,
And everyone who confesses My Son too.
