2) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
He laughs at the Gospel Truth, when to him, proclaimed.
Most feel The Preaching Of The Cross, is foolishness and dumb.
Yet, Salvation, a Free Gift; to all who would come.
3) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
Most will not repent of sin, and call on Jesus' Name.
They feel Heaven's owed to them, the moment that they die.
They believe this, one of many, Satan's wicked lies.
4) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
Yet, their excuses before God, all worthless, and lame.
No question of their guilt therein, at God's Judgment Throne.
The lost will stand defenseless there, naked and alone.
5) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
He refuses to believe, he's headed for the flame.
First, in the torment of Hell, then in The Lake Of Fire.
The reward for all the lost, preferring sin's desire.
6) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
Evil thoughts continually, there in his mind frame.
Believing this life's all there is, nothing after death.
They will find how wrong they were, upon their last breath.
7) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
''I will not be born again''; rebellion, they exclaim.
They prefer the life of sin, and will not repent.
Like Satan and his demon hordes, they are all hell bent.
8) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
Thinking God winks at their sins, judgment will be tame.
God's Standard is Perfection there; and none on Earth, can pay.
Except for Christ, the King Of Kings, The Truth, The Life, The Way.
9) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
They see they couldn't fool The Lord; life was not a game.
For the One Thing God requires; Believe on Christ, He sent.
Once the unsaved enter Hell, no chance to repent.
10) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
In torment for eternity, every day, the same.
Now he's sorry for his sin, but it's way too late.
Eternal doom forevermore, it is now his fate.
11) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
In this life, he was on top; though others hurt and maimed.
Cast into the pit of Hell, with Satan and his hordes.
With all those who did refuse Jesus Christ as Lord.
12) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
''Only I, and Me, matter''...these, his prideful claims.
Like Lucifer, when he did there, in Heaven, did rebel.
One third of angels, with him there, were damned into Hell.
13) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
On Judgment Day, before The Lord, they will confess Christ's Name.
Not eagerly, but now compelled, before Christ, they will bow.
Heaven is denied for these, they know The Truth now.
14) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
Yet, very few, humbly repent, and call on Jesus' Name.
Not going through the motions there, but in their prayer, sincere.
These souls, when their lives do end, they will have no fear.
15) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
For good things that were not done, all will be ashamed.
For those who believed on Christ, their sins washed away.
But the lost, for every sin, eternally, they'll pay.
16) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
But, for all those who repent, Christ took their sin and shame.
When He died upon The Cross, in Love, He took their place.
And, rose again on The Third Day; God's Amazing Grace.
17) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
One day, every one that's lived; Christ will call their name.
Welcoming redeemed souls there, with Love from His Throne.
Or cast the lost into the Fire, as one's He's never known.
18) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
Please don't fall for Satan's lifes, and his wicked claims.
Murderer, liar, from the start, he wants your soul to burn.
Not wanting you there to repent; and to Christ, there turn.
19) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
The saved know, Christ took their sin, they're the ones to blame.
They knew they couldn't save themselves, or could earn God's Grace.
In grateful humilty, these bow, and seek His Face.
20) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
When all stand before The Lord, the defense they claim;
What they did with Jesus Christ; and with His Commands.
Either Heaven will be there, or from it, they are banned.
21) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
No matter their stand in this life, background, wealth, or fame.
All will stand before The Lord, their lives in review.
No chance there to make ammends; judgment is in view.
22) Mankind in his selfish pride, will not take the blame.
Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus Christ, the same.
What you do with Jesus Christ, sets your eternity.
Hell or Heaven, it's your choice; friend, what will it be??
