2) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
At a life on trial there, the verdict, all your own.
You won't be asked of others sin, just ones you did do.
From conception to your death, all will be in view.
3) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
At both places, you will answer, for yourself, alone.
No one for you, at either place, your soul, to defend.
Christ can be your worst nightmare, or your forever friend.
4) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
Either for repentant heart, or one as hard as Stone.
Sin not even considered, at The Bema seat.
At The Great White Throne, sin is, exposed, and complete.
5) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
At both places, with regret, you will surely moan.
For missed opportunities, that you had on Earth.
To witness to others, or; to accept New Birth.
6) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
Whether you were lost or saved, at death, sets the tone.
Hell or Heaven, only two, places that exist.
If you choose to reject Christ, Heaven, you'll have missed.
7) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
For The Lord cannot be mocked, you'll reap what you have sown.
Rewards are both gained and lost, at The Bema Seat.
At Judgment of The Great White Throne, it's total defeat.
8) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
God's Word pierces all the way, to the flesh and bone.
For His Word is sharper than any two edged sword.
One day, every soul on Earth, stands before The Lord.
9) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
Most in life don't want to leave, their earthly comfort zone.
The lost consider Gospel Truth, foolishness, and dumb.
But, Christ will not turn away, all who humbly come.
10) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
Those now in the pit of Hell; curse, scream, wail, and moan.
Those in Heaven, in full joy, with their voices raised,
Declare that Christ, their Savior, Lord, is worthy of all praise.
11) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
After death, chance to repent, totally, is blown.
Those in Hell, wish they could, see The Cross, again.
Tragically, it's too late; they died in their sin.
12) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
You will answer for yourself, not evil twin, or clone.
Your whole life, from birth to death, there will be revealed.
Whether acts done in the open, or were there, concealed.
13) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
Christ, who knew no sin at all, took there as His Own;
Every sin that every soul, that ever lived, would do.
God's Love shown on Calvary's Cross, all there in full view.
14) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
Did you choose to have Christ's Blood, for sins, to atone??
One is saved by Grace Through Faith, not of works, to boast.
If you choose to reject Christ, you will regret it most.
15) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
Tomorrow promised to no one; the choice, you can't postpone.
Your eternal destiny, depends upon your choice.
To accept, or there reject, The Lord's Precious Voice.
16) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
Life is like a vapor...soon, far away, it's flown.
It's appointed all to die, then the Judgment There.
An appointment you will keep, you'd better, prepare.
17) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
Prayer is talking there to God, on His Hotline phone.
No busy signal, He will listen, each and every time.
But, choosing to reject Him, is the eternal crime.
18) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
The pain you will have in Hell, worse than strained neckbone.
If you prefer a life of sin, and darkness more than light.
Eternally, you'll be tormented, there both day and night.
19) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
What is your life built on there, with its foundation stone??
If on sand, when the storms come, it will surely fail.
If on Christ, with the same storms, it will there, prevail.
20) Mercy at the Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
Like pass in a football game, that is overthrown.
The result of that whole play, it is incomplete.
If you don't score a single point, you will have defeat.
21) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
Like goal in a football game, to reach the end zone.
For the saved press toward the mark, there to win the prize.
But, the lost, The Gospel Truth, all these, do despise.
22) Mercy at the Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
For it's written there in Red, believers birthstone.
Only Precious Blood Of Christ, can wash your sins away.
Into Heaven, Jesus Christ, He is The Only Way.
23) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
The road of life is difficult, as bad as traffic cone.
The path you take is based upon, the road that you there, choose.
You can take the righteous path, or it, there refuse.
24) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
Christ, The Rock Of Christian Faith, and The Cornerstone.
Yet, He is a Gentleman, He'll let you go your way.
At your death, it's Christ, or you; your sin debt, to pay.
25) Mercy at The Bema, but, not at Great White Throne.
You can't buy or earn Heaven, or even get a loan.
Salvation, a free gift to all, who would there, receive.
Will you now, repent of sin?? And on Christ, believe??
