I was talking to some of my friends, we were all having fun.

Said some things I shouldn't have said, did some things I shouldn't have done. I knew that I was different. I felt God touch my heart,

I knew I should set a standard, but then I would be set apart.

 

Walking to the bus, I heard the car tires screeching, and now its 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, with 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 and 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 know what you needed to do."

 

"Lord, please I'm young, I never thought I would die.

I thought I would have plenty of time death caught me by surprise.

Lord, I went to church, please Jesus I believe.

 

He said you would not accept me, my love you would not receive.

Lord, there were too many hypocrites they weren't being true.

He took a step back and said what does that have to do with you?

Lord, my family claimed to be saved, they weren't really you know.

He said, I died for you, know I have to go.

 

Please Jesus, I begged, the place is so hot.

It seemed to trouble and grieve Him as 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 real.

Now too late, I know that the bible is right.
