What About You ?

I saw an unsaved man and I knew his pain,
Wandering through a life that is tarnished and stained.

With a hollow feeling inside his soul,
That can’t be satisfied with silver or gold.

His days are long and his dreams torment,
Cause he hasn’t opened up his heart and received the love our Savior has sent.

Not giving trust to the one that can fill that void and make him complete,
He follows in the path that leads straight to destruction and defeat.

His eyes are on man and their sinful ways,
Not realizing how short lived is this game he plays.

He has little children and they look to him,
And he doesn’t even realize they’re more precious than gems,

It’s a fathers place to set examples and goals,
Make sure they receive everything they need to save their souls.

What excuse will he give God come Judgment Day,
When their souls are lost what will he say?

Wait, what is this happening, I see him kneeling down?
And tears are streaming down but where’s the frown?

Why he finally got the clue, he figured out what to do.
He gave his heart to Jesus, now what about you?
