Sorting Time

Not too far off there'll come a day
When there will be life's bill to pay
And some will find that theirs is overdue.

The measure might be what we did
Or, even all the things we hid
And maybe if our word was false or, true.

But, my belief is that's not right
For when I read the Word of Light
It's simpler than the works of our own hand.

The price was paid for one and all
If they but answer to the call
And with their life to boldly take a stand

For the One whose Word is true
Who came to earth for me and you
To bring us life with Him eternally.

Yes, we must answer for our life;
Was it of peace, or one of strife,
and lived of love for Him for all to see?

Our selfish hearts must e'er be turned,
For heaven isn't to be earned,
Our life should point to the One above.

How we live should show the light
To all who dwell beneath His sight
And what we do should always be for love.

We must ourselves deny each day
For Jesus is the only way
That we will ever win the race.

And when we stand before His throne
We know we will not stand alone
When we meet our Savior face to face.

Matthew 13:47-48
John 14:6
