Such professed Christians are
Oft seen, but seldom heard;
And never shout AMEN!
To Truth preached from God's Word!
Others praise God at Church,
But NEVER AT THE GAME!
They fear offending men
If THERE they praise His Name!
At dances they attend
They'll swing and celebrate,
But when they are at church
THEY NEVER DEMONSTRATE!
It's OK at the ball
To make all sorts of moves,
But they think that at church
Stiff motionless behooves!
Their pastor must "fit in"
And not "step on their toes"
So in form-al-i-ty
They can, with peace repose.
He must not mention dress,
That's im-mod-est and proud;
Their jew-el-ry and paint
By him must be allowed.
This poem I now write
Would be pooh-poohed by most
Now sitting in church pews
Who claim to be God's host!
I warn you now, dear friend,
Such folks will not pass through!
Instead, they'll hear Christ say,
"Depart! -- I DON'T KNOW YOU!
"Not all who say, Lord Lord
Shall into Hea-ven go.
For only My TRUE SAINTS
Shall enter -- THOSE I KNOW!"
TWO MASTERS, none can have!
Christ Jesus, WE MUST CHOOSE!
Him only we may serve,
OR WE OUR SOULS SHALL LOSE!
He told us "STRAIT THE GATE
And NARROW IS THE WAY
That leadeth unto Life,"
And we should choose TODAY!
Tomorrow is not ours!
Salvation's time is NOW!
We dare not to delay:
REPENT, BEFORE HIM BOW!
RIGHT NOW forsake all sin!
RIGHT NOW forsake the world!
Before your guilty soul
INTO HELL FIRE IS HURLED!
Your precious soul God loves;
Christ died, your soul to save.
He'll cleanse you from all sin
Beneath the crimson wave!
Yes, in the Narrow Way
Christ's blood will make you pure;
His Spirit He'll bestow,
And Heaven He'll assure.
In just a few days more,
I shall be seven-eight (78)
But, if I die tonight,
My mercy won't be late!
Praise God! Christ now forgives;
His blood doth make me pure.
And I am Heaven-bound
His Spirit doth assure.
Dear Reader, what's your way?
The Narrow way, or broad?
And to whence are you bound:
To Hell? or HOME WITH GOD?
Make sure your way is right;
And you've not strayed abroad.
Stay on the Narrow road
That leadeth Home to God!
