2) Folks love darkness more than light, hate Preaching Of The Cross.
Not wanting to hear they're Hell bound, spiritually lost.
They'd rather live a life of sin, and of wicked fun.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
3) 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.
To keep you out of Heaven there, the total sins, is one.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
4) When feeling guilty of their deeds, of them, most won't confess.
So they lie to hide their guilt, and of the worse mess.
Sin's like looking down the barrel, of a loaded gun.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
5) ''Your sin will surely find you out''; one day, you'll get caught.
On Earth, or on Judgment Day, you'll get what you have wrought.
Sin's burden worse than anvil there, unlimited in tons.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
6) Confession to a pastor, priest, when they are guilty.
They think that they can still sin, with impunity.
Your life is replayed one day; all thoughts, things you've done.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
7) You can fool the ministers, and friends across the board.
But you can't deceive or fool, Jesus Christ, The Lord.
One day, all mankind will bow, before Christ, God's Son.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
8) Tomorrow promised to no one; you could die today.
At your death, it's Christ, or you; your sin debt, to pay.
Church membership, or your good deeds; worthiness, is none.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
9) Your righteousness as filthy rags, there before The Lord.
For His Word is sharper than any two edged sword.
Once into eternity; forever, has begun.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
10) Only Hell or Heaven there; two places at your death.
You will enter one of them, upon your last breath.
Too late there to choose The Lord, when Earthly life is done.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
11) Those who put their faith in Christ, for their soul to save,
Believing that He lived, and died, and rose up from the grave;
His Blood cleanses all their sins, each and every one.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
12) God's Grace, not license to sin; but license there, to serve.
For God grades upon The Cross, and not upon The Curve.
When Christ arose in victory, salvation's battle, won.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
13) After death or rapture there, at Bema Judgment Seat.
Only for believers there, redemption now, complete.
Rewards gained and lost; but into Heaven, every one.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
14) Gold, silver, precious stones; deeds pleasing to The Lord.
Wood, hay, stubble, not so much; these have no reward.
Crowns laid at Christ's Feet; and praises, sung there, to God's Son.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
15) After Rapture, those left behind, souls unrepentant, dark.
They are so against The Lord, that they'll take The Mark.
At that point, for them, Heaven; the chance, it is none.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
16) Heaven is not owed to you, the moment that you die.
Default is Hell, if you believe the doom of Satan's lie.
For the flaming heat of Hell, much hotter than the sun.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
17) Every sin you've done in thought, motive, word, or deed.
Without Christ, on Judgment Day; none for you, will plead.
An appointment you will keep; from Judgment, you can't run.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
18) No guilt question, pardon, mercy, or hint of appeal.
For you there on Judgment Day, as all sins, revealed.
The chance for you to enter Heaven, it has plunged to none.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
19) Salvation's plan so simple there, a child can understand.
Written in Red, ''I Love You'', from Christ's Nail Pierced Hands.
Decision is required there, for each and every one.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
20) Those who prefer the Devil's lies, and wicked, sinful spell.
At the moment of their death, they plunge into Hell.
They now see, the one to blame, that they are, the one.
Only Christ can forgive, pardon; for the sins you've done.
