Where Will You Go?

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. ~ Revelations 20:11

Should you die today, where will you go?

I had put on new clothes, New sneaks on my feet.
I was there for class on time,
Went to the back and took my seat.

Yeah, I’m moving up,
I’m already grown.
Soon I’ll be graduating,
And out on my own.

I talked to some of my friends,
We were all having fun.
Said some things I shouldn’t have said,
Did stuff I shouldn’t have done.

I knew I was different.
I felt God touch my heart,
I knew I should set a standard,
But then I’d be set apart.

Walking to the bus,
I was not looking for strength.
I heard the car tires screeching,
But now it’s too late.

I’m standing in this room,
And I can see the heavenly gate.
Oh no! I never prayed.
I thought I had time to get it straight.

An angel walked to me,
He had a book in his hand.
I knew it was the Book of Life,
When would this dream end?

I told him my name,
And he began to look.
Then he looked at me sadly and said,
” Your name is not in this book. “

” Angel, this is a dream,
No, I can’t be dead! “
He closed the book and turned away,
He whispered – “You cannot proceed ahead.”

” No…no this can’t be real,
Angel, you can’t turn me away.
Let me talk to God,
Maybe he’ll let me stay. “

He led me to the gate,
Jesus came to me.
He did not let me in but said,
” Beloved what is your need? “

” Jesus, I cried, please,
Don’t cast me away from You. “
Tears ran down His face as He said,
” You knew what you needed to do. “

” Lord, please I’m young,
I never thought I would die.
I thought I’d have plenty of time,
Death caught me by surprise. “

” Lord, I went to church,
Please Jesus, I believe. “
Jesus said “You would not accept me,
My love you would not receive. “

” Lord, there were too many hypocrites,
They weren’t being true. “
Jesus took a step back and asked,
” What does that have to do with you? “

” Lord, my family claimed to be saved,
They weren’t real. You know. “
Jesus said, “I died for you,
Now I have to go. “

I fell to my knees crying to Him,
” Lord, I planned to be real tomorrow. “
I couldn’t, make Him understand,
I had never-felt such sorrow.
Then it hit me hard, I said,
” Lord, where will I go? “

He looked into my eyes and said,
” My child you already know. “
“Please Jesus, I begged,
The place is so hot. “
It seemed to trouble and grieve Him,
He whispered, “DEPART FROM ME, I KNOW YOU NOT.”

” Lord, you’re supposed to be love,
How can you send me to damnation? “
He replied, “With your mouth you said you loved me,
But each day you rejected my salvation.”

With that in an instant,
Day turned into night.

I never knew such torture could be,
Now too late, I know the Bible is right.
If I can tell you anything,
Hell has no age.
It is a place of torture,
Separated from God and full of rage.

You know, I thought it was funny-a joke,
But this one thing is true.
If you never accept Jesus Christ,
HELL IS WAITING FOR YOU!

So please, ask Him into your heart.
