If Today Was The Tomorrow

If today was the tomorrow
You thought would never come,
And instead of then rejoicing
You were fear stricken and numb.
If the time had come appointed you
In which you were to die,
And you were ushered into eternity
With just a blink of the eye…
Discovering your soul then wasn’t ready
And your heart, it wasn’t right…
Finding yourself in a living nightmare
With no escape in sight.
If all you had to plead your cause-
“I was a church going man”,
“A good citizen, and hard worker”,
“I even helped my fellow man”.
If all you had to make your case
Was the good deeds you performed,
And a list of all the iniquities
You proudly abstained from.
Do you think that you’d gain entrance
In through the pearly gates
If those who were still living
Prayed enough and paid the rate?
If there truly was another way
Christ need not of paid the price,
And to trust in your own righteousness
Just cheapens His sacrifice.
If today was the tomorrow
You thought would never come,
Would Christ now bid you welcome
Would He say to you “Well done”?
Prepare to meet your Maker.
You must be born again.
Receive a brand new nature,
Let Him wash away your sins.
Open up your heart to Him;
Receive eternal life...
Then when that day appointed comes
You’ll dwell in Paradise.

John 3:3-7
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
