2) Began in Heaven long ago, when Lucifer rebelled.
Conned one third of angels to, follow in his spell.
Hell, and then The Lake Of Fire, their punishment hole.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
3) Deceived our first parents there, and brought down sin's curse.
Every day from that time on, things go so much worse.
For man's heart deceitful there, wicked, black as coal.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
4) Many would give anything to get selfish desire.
They sell their soul, and head for, eternal Lake Of Fire.
Sin looks like a paradise, there on a grassy knoll.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
5) Liar, murderer, from the start, he works to deceive.
He'll give victims what they want, so they will receive.
But they'll pay eternal price, as their heads will roll.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
6) Many say ''I'd sell my soul, if I could keep this place''.
That's music to Satan's ears, and slap in God's Face.
Most refuse there to repent, and give Christ control.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
7) Bribery, corruption, there...with their evil pride.
All part of sin nature that does there exist inside.
Power, prestige in this life, it is their full goal.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
8) Eternal torment not a joke, Hell is very real.
Yet, Satan never tells the truth, in his wicked spiel.
For The Lord on Judgment Day; punishment, He'll dole.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
9) Many think that this life now, is all that exists.
At the moment of their death; Heaven, they'll have missed.
Giving in to Satan's lies, when you, he cajoles.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
10) Ear tickling sermons, folks do want; but no word of Hell.
Gospel Truth offends all these, when its Words, do tell.
Surrounded, and with no escape, as in a fish bowl.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
11) Satan says ''If you will now, sign on dotted line''.
''I'll give everything you want, and all will be fine''.
But, the bottomless pit there, is a fiery hole.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
12) Out of Hell and into Heaven, none can pay the cost.
Without faith, repentance, there...you're forever lost.
You'll hate yourself when you find out; Heaven, Satan stole.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
13) Your soul is what defined you there, and it never dies.
Death is not the end of things, when you close your eyes.
For the cost of all your sin, you can't pay its toll.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
14) Hell or Heaven, one of these, you'll enter at death.
No second chance there to repent, after your last breath.
Though most feel that Gospel Truth, is boring and droll.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
15) After Rapture Of The Church, the man of sin revealed.
''Peace And Safety'' promised while, power is congealed.
He will take so many lives, even the young foal.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
16) Hell On Earth for seven years, many souls will die.
Seals, trumpets, bowls of plagues, fall from Heaven's sky.
Though it seems all has gone mad; God is in control.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
17) To buy, sell, or hold, a job...most will take the Mark.
Damnation for eternity, for these souls, so dark.
Like beacon extinguished there, from a lighthouse shoal.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
18) The moment the unsaved dread most, is when Christ returns.
Realizing in Hell Fire, they will forever, burn.
Sin scarred for eternity, as a darkened mole.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
19) Even Satan, and his legions, of demonic hordes.
Will bow in The Lake Of Fire, confessing Christ is Lord.
With all unregenerate, unrepentant souls.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
20) By default, your choice is Satan, if you reject Christ.
For you there are not your own, but bought with a price.
In life and eternally, who will you give control??
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
21) Heaven is not owed to you, no matter what you've heard.
''All have sinned, none righteous there'', says God's Holy Word.
Without Christ, you'll pay sins cost; no part, but the whole.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
22) It's appointed all to die, then judgment will occur.
You will stand before The Lord; this day, you can't defer.
On the day of Judgment there, your life shown as a scroll.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
23) If you choose to not repent, and stay with your pride.
As you enter Hell, you'll see, Heaven is denied.
Eternal torment far worse than, a tsunami, roll.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
24) For all who truly come to Christ, He will not turn away.
For what He did on Calvary's Cross, for all sin to pay.
''Lord, what will you have me do??''; it is their daily goal.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
25) I hope you'll take the advice, that The Lord does give.
He gave His Life upon The Cross, so that you might live.
With resurrection from the dead, sin has no control.
What profit if you gain the world, but you lose your soul??
26) On the value of your soul, you can't put a cost.
No one enters Heaven, who...spiritually is lost.
Will you now repent of sin, and give Christ control??
