Christ came once and Christ will come again.

Soon He'll return and from heaven He'll ascend.

Are you ready for that day and ready for that hour?

Are you ready to see Jesus in his awesome power?

Don't get caught living in sin or in strife.

Don't get caught up in the affairs of this life.

Only one life and it soon will pass,

Only what's done for Christ will last.

We'll stand before Him and give an account,

He'll give out awards in different amounts.

Rewards will be given for what we have done,

Some rewarded much and some hardly none.

Christ loves us all and wants us all blessed,

So give Him your best and give nothing less.

The life you live is no dress rehearsal,

It is the real deal with no life reversals.

What has been done..........has been done.

What has been said...........has been said.

Only Christ's blood can cleanse.

Only Christ's blood can forgive.

No reincarnation and no purgatory,

These are just false devilish stories.

There is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun,

There is a life to live and work to be done.

Live your life like the Lord wants you to,

Walk in love and do what Jesus would do.

And when it's all over and your life is through,

You will have many rewards waiting for you!
