2) Paradise in Eden there, before the couple fell.
Adam and Eve both hearkened to, the lies of Satan's spell.
Not realizing that the serpent there, was a lying thief.
They'd soon see they were sinners, and they were the chief.
3) After Adam and Eve there, disobeyed the rule.
The truth was that in their sin now, they both were the fools.
They covered up their nakedness, with bunch of fig leaf.
They saw they were a sinner there, and they are the chief.
4) Spreading there like wildfire, wickedness there, reigned.
God would send a worldwide flood, with forty days of rain.
Man's heart evil constantly; it gave The Lord, much grief.
Most didn't see they were sinners, and they were the chief.
5) Yet, Noah found grace in God's eyes; was told to build an Ark.
Those who would not take refuge, their souls were so dark.
They mocked Noah, laughed at him; the Ark was their beef.
Yet they were the sinners there, and all were the chief.
6) Once Noah's Family, and all of, the animals, inside.
The Ark door closed safely there, for the watery ride.
When rain started falling there, it would not be brief.
Drowned the sinners all outside, all of them, the chief.
7) After the flooding went away, the rainbow in the sky.
God's Covenant with mankind there, now the Earth was dry.
Not destroyed by water there, but by flaming reef.
Against unrepentant sinners. all of them were chief.
8) Ten plagues pounded Egypt there, God's Power to show.
Pharoah refused the command to ''Let My People Go''.
Pharoah hardened his heart there, in all unbelief.
Him a sinner?? How absurd!! Never mind the chief!!
9) Pharoah's army were all drowned, there in The Red Sea.
The Lord delivered all the Jews, in mighty victory.
But soon with the Golden Calf, in their unbelief.
The Jews were the sinners there, and all were the chief.
10) Moses was on Mount Sinai to get Commandments Ten.
But below, in orgy there, The Jews in acts of sin.
Their wicked behavior there, gave The Lord more grief.
As the pagans, sinners there, and each was the chief.
11) They wandered in the wilderness there for forty years.
In cloud and pillar of fire, The Lord would appear.
At times, His Appearance there, would be short and brief.
Most rebelled as sinners did, and they were the chief.
12) In the fullness of time there, Christ would come to Earth.
To preach The Gospel of The Kingdom, and tell of New Birth.
Repentance and faith on The Lord, in sincere belief.
Few saw they were sinners there, and they were the chief.
13) Christ, Who knew no sin at all, would die in our place.
Then rise again in victory, with God's Amazing Grace.
On Pentecost, three thousand souls, there came to belief.
They saw they were sinners there, and they were the chief.
14) Saul Of Tarsus, Pharisee, before he met The Lord.
Hunted and killed Christians there, with his mighty sword.
He met Christ on Damascus Road, and came to belief.
He saw he was a sinner there, and he was the chief.
15) When witnessed to with Gospel Truth, that with them, was shared.
The Holy Spirit convicts them, and how they're unprepared.
To enter Heaven when they die, in their unbelief.
They see they are a sinner there, and they are the chief.
16) ''Believe On Christ, The One God Sent'', the one thing He requires.
The only way to keep one from Eternal Lake Of Fire.
Seeing when they sin, it gives, The Holy Spirit, grief.
They see they are a sinner there, and they are the chief.
17) Salvation, a free gift there, to Gentiles and the Jews.
But, each individually, on their own, must choose.
Will they repent, and on Christ, place their full belief??
Each must see that they're a sinner, never mind the chief.
18) Our sin nature, on our own, is very hard to beat.
But at death or rapture there, redemption is complete.
Sadly, far more refuse Christ, and stay in unbelief.
They won't accept they're sinners, and they are the chief.
19) This life is not all there is, everyone will die.
Except for saved, alive at rapture, rocket to the sky.
Eternity, in Hell or Heaven, it will not be brief.
Everyone's a sinner there, and they are the chief.
20) God wants all souls to repent, and not to die in sin.
Sooner more than later there, Christ will come again.
Heaven only for all those, on Christ, with belief.
These see they're a sinner there, and they are the chief.
21) The believers, not their own, but bought with a price.
The default at death is Hell, if you reject Christ.
Rejecting Christ, eternally, you'll be filled with grief.
You'll see too late, you are a sinner; and that you were chief.
22) True believers on The Lord, are destined for Heaven.
Confessing their sins to The Lord, they are there, forgiven.
License to serve and not to sin, part of their belief.
Each day, they are a sinner there, and they are the chief.
23) At death, it is Christ or you, your sin debt to pay.
God's Creation, and His Rules; Christ The Only Way.
Into Heaven for all those, on Christ, have belief.
These see they're a sinner there, and they are the chief.
24) Yet, God is a Gentleman, He'll let you go your way.
Tomorrow promised to no one; you could die today.
After death, it is too late, for you to have belief.
You'll see too late, you are a sinner; and that you were chief.
25) You can't say that you weren't warned; you've heard The Gospel Truth.
Salvation is for all mankind, both adult and youth.
Don't believe the Devil's lies; they will cause you grief.
Every soul a sinner there, and they are the chief.
