2) Some there preach that good deeds will lead to Paradise.
Commitment there is not required; you only should be nice.
This is one of the great lies, from Satan's doctrine tree.
Religions keep mankind enslaved, but Christ will set you free.
3) Others say that you must follow what their preachers say.
Proclaiming that to Heaven's Gate, they are the true way.
Saying ''All others are a cult; it's there, plain to see.''
Religions keep mankind enslaved, but Christ will set you free.
4) Then, there's others who will say, ''If you're not of their church'';
''At death, you're left in limbo there, hanging in the lurch''.
And ''You can sin there all you want, as God will never see''.

5) Others add to the Gospel, say ''It was unfinished there''.
You must do this extra stuff; to Heaven, be prepared.
But Christ proclaimed ''It Is Finished'', from that Rugged Tree.

6) Still others will take things away, saying it's too much to do.
Just give your time and money here, and act like you want to.
These false prophets, antichrists, these blind ones will not see.
Religions keep mankind enslaved, but Christ will set you free.
7) Others say Christ was a man, yet He was not Divine.
A good man and a teacher there, with words He did opine.
Just live your life on Earth each day, how you would want to be.

8) Some say that you there can not know if Heaven is your home.
That you'll know the truth one day, at the Judgment Throne.
By then, too late to choose your place, of eternal destiny.

9) Then, some say that you must die; the ultimate sacrifice.
To be a martyr for your faith, to inherit paradise.
Yet, Christ shed His Precious Blood, to pay sin's death stung fee.

We're saved by grace through faith, not works; salvation so easy.

11) Believers on Christ, if they're wrong, won't lose much when they die.
But for all others, if they're wrong, Heaven is denied.
One day before Christ, all will bow, there on bended knee.

12) Nothing you could do will save you from the Lake Of Fire.

In this life, did one repent, and give Christ control??
Hell or Heaven, is your home, for eternity.

Christ took your sins upon Himself, and on the Cross, He'd die.
Then on the third day, rose again, there in victory.

16) The Cross is empty, like the tomb, our sins are paid in full.
While our sins were once scarlet, they're now white as wool.
For all those who came to Christ, there in humility.
Religions keep mankind enslaved, but Christ will set you free.
17) Tomorrow promised to no one, friend; today or tonight.
And, once you die, it's too late, to make all things right.
