The Route To Heaven - Matthew 7: 21
Jesus came to earth full of God's love
but also full of His perfect righteousness
for God's son lived a truly holy life
calling His believers to show His godliness
They are many who call Jesus Lord
thinking their lives have pleased God
but the Lord sees into every heart
knows their every thought even the flawed
God has a gift for a holy life
to live with Him up in heaven
there they'll be no place for sin
only righteousness to be daily living
The Lord looks down here for His will
seeking to see it lived out here
on those who put God in first place
living their life in godly fear
We must look to Christ of Calvary
there He paid for our salvation by His blood
through His sacrifice alone we must believe
for heavens door closes with a mighty thud!
So who shall enter the kingdom of heaven?
only those who do God's will on earth
for them the door is open to come in
having received the gift of spiritual birth
(Matthew 7:21
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.")
