When You Take That Last Breath Your Final Day

As certain as a spark flies 
upward toward the sky.
Your life will go by fast...  
Till the day you die.

Till the moment when you'll 
take your last breath.
This willl be your final day. 
 We call this death.

Your possessions.  You won't
 be able to take.
Do you really thinik of...
 what's  really at stake?

Your eternal soul will spend
 forever in heaven or hell.
Perhaps this fact doesn't 
"sit with you very well." 

You need to make sure a relationsihp
 with Christ is certain.
Before death comes calling you
 for life's "final curtain."

"What profits a man if he gain the world.  
But loses his soul?"
Heaven or hell...  Which place 
do you choose to go???
