Written By Daryl Stout
2) In the grand scheme of all things, Earthly life is small.
Hell Or Heaven, Home Eternal, there for one and all.
Your righteousness as filthy rags, it is of no worth.
Set your minds on things above, not things on the Earth.
3) Into Heaven, out of Hell; you can't, your soul, buy.
Eternal destiny is set, the moment that you die.
For God's Word states ''there are none, righteous on the Earth''.
Set your minds on things above, not things on the Earth.
4) Once you close your eyes in death, eternal fate is sealed.
What you'll have eternally, at that point, revealed.
Earthly deeds before The Lord, they are of no worth.
Set your minds on things above, not things on the Earth.
5) Most of mankind does resent, that God made The Rules.
So they cry ''There is no God''; The Lord calls them ''Fools''.
Fruits of Holy Spirit there, they are so much worth.
Set your minds on things above, not things on the Earth.
6) If you die without The Lord, it you'll surely dread.
No one will defend you there, standing in your stead.
Heaven, for repentant souls, who have The New Birth.
Set your minds on things above, not things on the Earth.
7) If you're living for The Lord, serving as you should.
Worthless on Earth, but you are, of Heavenly good.
Pleasing Christ, your soul is happy, in all of its girth.
Set your minds on things above, not things on the Earth.
8) On Rugged Cross of Calvary, Christ's Blood, there, was shed.
On Third Day, victorious, rising from the dead.
All who would repent, believe; they would have New Birth.
Set your minds on things above, not things on the Earth.
9) Only things done for The Lord, after you are dead;
You can't take it with you, but can send it on ahead.
Righteous deeds done for The Lord; they are of much worth.
Set your minds on things above, not things on the Earth.
10) Either at the Bema Seat, or at Great White Throne.
All your life will be reviewed; all things there, made known.
What your life was for The Lord, sets eternal worth.
Set your minds on things above, not things on the Earth.
11) At least one chance given here, to hear The Gospel Truth.
Salvation is available, for adults and youth.
For each soul there in God's eyes; it is of much worth.
Set your minds on things above, not things on the Earth.
12) Tomorrow promised to no one; you could die, tonight.
In Judgment before The Lord; happiness or fright.
What will you have to offer Him, from your life on Earth??
Set your minds on things above, not things on the Earth.
13) ''Believe on Christ, who God did send'', is what He requires.
The only thing to save you from Eternal Lake Of Fire.
At death, the saved, in Sabbath rest; as in Pullman berth.
Set your minds on things above, not things on the Earth.
14) Yet, God is a Gentleman, He'll let you go your way.
At death, it's either Christ, or you; your sin debt to pay.
For the Righteousness Of Christ; it is of much worth.
Set your minds on things above, not things on the Earth.
15) Any deals with the Devil, all of them, are fake.
Where you spend eternity, it's your choice, to make.
You can choose there to accept, or reject The New Birth.
Set your minds on things above, not things on the Earth.
