This Spaceship Is Sinking

The Titanic played its music
                                  Right up till the end
                            The band played on in the
                                     predawn hours
                             Though broken without mend
                                  This spaceship we call 
                                 Planet Earth is breaking
                                 under sin's blood stain
                              Sailing through the galaxy
                                 Beneath a heavy strain
                              Chilling, nightmares rumors
                                Death sentences of Wars
                              Though "PEACE!" they cried
                                      No one can hide 
                              This spacecraft veering down
                                Because greed so abounds
                              What on earth do we now see
                                Hate and threats of WWIII
                                The Titanic hit an iceberg
                              No one would heed her plea
                               Putin with his heart of ice
                                     Threatens earth, 
                                   will he think twice?
                             We're not promised anything
                                 except there is an ending
                            If today is our last earth day
                         In an eternal place soon spending
                           If the last few strains of music
                         of the bird's songs are now ending
                                 Can we face the music?
                                We will stand before God
                                Who sent His Son for
                              Earth dwellers who on this 
                                         planet trod
                              He offered us a lifeboat
                               That through Jesus Christ
                                          His Son
                           Believe on Him, He is the Lord
                                  In Him victory's won
                              Blessed is He Who comes
                               in the name of the Lord
                                  He is the Life boat
                                 Hurry! Get on board!
                         For this precious Ship is sinking
                       Humankind has got earth stinking
                             Life may end in WWIII
                        But there is hope for you and me
                                Simple as this ABC:
                          Ask Him to forgive your sin,
                       Believe and you'll be born again
                            Call upon His Holy name
                      This surely could be the end game
                        He died for you, His love is true
                     Believe, and He will see you through
                    There is none righteous, no NOT one!
                     Except the risen Savior, Jesus Christ
                                       God's Son
                     It's not by works of righteousness
                             that anyone should boast
                     Call upon His Holy name, before this
                                     Ship is toast

 This is how to be saved, it is simply child like, as simple as ABC:
A - Admit that you are a sinner. This is where that godly sorrow leads to genuine repentance for sinning against a righteous God and there is a change of heart, we change our mind and God changes our hearts and regenerates us from the inside out.
Romans 3:10 - As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one."
Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (We are all born sinners which is why we must be born spiritually in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven).
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The bad news is that the wages of sin is death, in other words our sin means that we have been given a death sentence, we have the death penalty hanging over our heads, that's the bad news. But
here's the good news: The good news is that the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephesians 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. 

B - Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and that God raised Jesus from the dead. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was.
Romans 10:9-10 - That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that
God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are
justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 

C - Call upon the name of the Lord. Every single person who ever lived since Adam will bend their knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Lord of lords and the King of kings.
Romans 14:11 - For it is written: "As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God." 
Don't wait until later — do this now.
Romans 10:13 - For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
"O God, I am a sinner. I'm sorry for my sin. I want to turn from my sin. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son; I believe that He died on the cross for my sin and that He was buried and You raised Him to life. I have decided to place my faith in Jesus Christ as my Savior, trusting only in His shed blood as
sufficient to save my soul and to take me to heaven. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving me. Amen." ABC's of Salvation from JD Farag

I believe, we'll be judged as we have lived, Jesus died to save sinners, and God raised Him from the dead, but, our relationship with God and Jesus is based on trust, respect and love, as is a loving marriage, I've made mistakes, truly sorry for them and admit to them and await judgement on Judgement Day, yes I am scared, and yes death is the one truth in life and I love your poem and your thinking, but how can I utter differently to who I am and what I believe, Kudos BJ an excellent write

Thank you for your comment, Jennifer. I can only hope that God forgives us through His sacrifice through Jesus, but, yeah, we are all sinners and no one can actually be good enough no matter how much we try. A tree can't help but shed its leaves in the fall, and we can't help being humans with all our tendencies of imperfection. It is the major sin of hate and wickedness of destroying lives, greed, and hurting others that will be really dealt with on judgment day. The greatest commandment is to love, and so, we know we have a very loving Father. I believe we can trust Him to lead us home. Willful sin in harming and hating others will have a heavy price to pay for those who do such things. I appreciate your comment so much. I'm sorry to respond so late as I haven't been able to be on here for months. I hope you are well <3

Just as Titanic sank, hit by an iceberg, the Earth is sinking in the pool of blood men are spilling ! We have no ears to pay attention to the cries for peace and we move forward daringly ignoring our Creator and His great message of love and forgiveness ! Before an apocalypse of destruction takes place, call on His name and ask for exoneration. Your faith shines through this beautifully crafted poem B.J. and I appreciate your concern over the disastrous happenings of our planet.

Thank you Judy, I definitely feel that we're living in terribly turbulent days. I know we are all, as a whole facing uncertain times. But there is hope above the chaos, I found it unexpectedly, I wrote about that experience in my poem 'Child of the King'. I just hope and pray that others will seek Him, and accept His free gift of salvation. God bless you Judy, thank you so much for your encouraging message to me <3 ~BJ

Love this analogy of Titanic sinking to what you said here: Humankind has got earth stinking. The evil elite are not helping the situation with all their propaganda. I remember in the 60's listening to our church leaders telling us the end was coming. i did not take it seriously until about a few years ago. now the evidence is overwhelming.

Yes, it is terribly evident, even unbelievers in God, secular scientists can see it, they set the Doomsday Clock at 100 seconds before midnight, and left it at that for the third year, one month later Russia began its assault against Ukraine, then threaten the entire world with nuclear disaster if anyone dare to intervene. It seems the scientists will need to reset the clock. It is a horrible atrocity against all the earth that these bombs of mass destruction were ever allowed to be created. Where is there hope outside of God? We know the end of the story, but it is surprising it appears that it has come to all this so soon, in our time.
