What If Christ Came Today

What If Christ Came Today?

Many in church aren't 
ready for Christ' return,
Holiness in their lives hasn’t been learned.

Many attend each Sunday,
 and go to Sunday class.
But outside church, their spiritual 
candle burns out fast.

Everyone thinks they're doing
 fine and “o.k.”
As long as they give money 
and sing and pray.

They soak in God's word and
memorize verses.
You can see their Bible tucked 
in behind their purses.

A sense of excitement stirs 
each Sunday morning.
But many fail to heed God's somber warning.

Without holiness, no one shall
 enter God's throne.
If Jesus came today,
they'd be left alone.

God knows the heart of man 
is wicked deep within.
That's why Jesus said: “YOU MUST be born again.”

Be separate from the world's 
wicked and sinful ways.
“Be ready for my coming” is what Jesus says.

At God's house, his divine 
judgement shall start.
Live for Jesus NOW!  Love him with all of your heart.

Keep this important thought in mind.
If he came now… Would you go? Or be left behind?
