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
