FIRST DAY BACK AT SCHOOL

I had on new clothes,

New sneaks on my feet

I was there for class on time,

Went to the back and took my seat.

Yeah, I’m moving up

I’m already grown

Soon I’ll be graduating

And out on my own

I talked to some of my friends

We were all having fun

Said some things I shouldn’t have said

Did some stuff I shouldn’t have done

I knew I was different

I felt God touch my heart

I knew I should set a standard

But then I’d be set apart

Walking to the bus

I was not looking for strength

I heard the car tires screeching

But now it’s too late

I’m standing in this room

And I can see the heavenly gate

Oh no! I never prayed

I thought I had time to get it straight

An Angel walked to me

He had a book in his hand

I knew it was the book of life

When would this dream end?

I told him my name

And he began to look

Then he looked at me sadly and said

Your name is not in this book

Angel, this is a dream

No, I can’t be dead

He closed the book and turned away

He whispered, you cannot proceed ahead

No, no, this can’t be real

Angel you can’t turn me away

Let me talk to God

Maybe He will let me stay

He led me to the gate

Jesus came to me

He did not let me in, but said;

Beloved, what is your need?

Jesus, I cried; please

Don’t cast me away from You

Tears ran down my face as He said;

You know what you needed to do

Lord please I’m young

I never thought I would die

I thought I’d have plenty of time

Death caught me by surprise

Lord I went to church

Please Jesus, I believe

He said, you would not accept me

My love you would not receive

Lord, there were many hypocrites

They weren’t true

He took a step back and asked

What does that have to do with you?

Lord, my family claimed to be saved

They weren’t real! You know

He said, I died for you

Now I have to go

I fell to my knees crying to Him

Lord I planned to be real tomorrow

I couldn’t make Him understand

I never felt such sorrow

Then it hit me hard, I said

Lord, where will I go?

He looked into my eyes and said

My child, you already know

Please Jesus, I begged

The place is so hot

It seemed to trouble and grieve Him

He whispered, depart from me, I know you not

Lord you’re supposed to be Love

How can you send me to damnation?

He replied, with your mouth you said you loved me

But each day you rejected my salvation

With that, in an instant

Day turned into night

I never knew such torture could be

Not too late; I know the bible is right

If I can tell you anything

Hell has no age

It is a place of torture

Separated from God and full of rage

You know, I thought it was funny- a joke

But this one is true

If you’ve never accepted Jesus Christ

Hell is waiting for you
