A Christian told me about Christ's gift
And of his imminent return.
How I had a choice to make-
Repent and turn or burn.
I laughed at him and walked away,
The story couldn't possibly be real!
Then all the Christians disappeared,
And I learned I'd missed the deal.
I grabbed a Bible and read the last book;
The horrors that would unfold.
God's wrath would fall and destroy the earth.
I wish I'd listened when I was told!
The plants and trees will become scarce.
The animals and fish will die.
I'll struggle to find food to eat,
Why did I believe the lie?
Natural disasters will grow much worse.
The sun will refuse to shine.
Plagues will rampage across the land.
Alone, I was left behind.
A united world will emerge;
It will seem like a dream come true.
One establishment for all mankind,
World peace would then ensue.
A pact would begin with good intent,
But be broken before it's time.
Bloodshed, famine, war, and death,
Darkness of heart and mind.
I cried aloud, "Please, one more chance!
Don't leave me alone to this fate!"
The silence I hear fills me with fear,
I didn't listen- It's far too late.
I'm alone in the darkness,
Who can lead me in the way?
How can I survive this hell?
I'll read the Bible and pray.
Obey the commandments that Moses gave,
Believe on Jesus whom God did send.
Be willing to die for the truth I ignored,
I'll try to endure to the end.
