OKAY WITHOUT JESUS?
by Bill Kochman

You say you’re okay without Jesus,
And everything is perfectly fine,
You insist you’re a good person,
Who never crosses the moral line.
You boast your life is going well,
You’ve got a job, family and friends,
But there is one thing to consider,
What happens when your life ends.
Yes, our life on Earth is important,
God put us each here for a reason,
But after a certain number of years,
We will reach the end of our season.
Our earthly existence will fade away,
And into eternity we shall each go,
Where we will face the big question,
It’s something we really need to know.
For stripped of our earthly garment,
Before the great God we shall stand,
The record books will then be opened,
And an account the Lord will demand.
Now you can speak of your goodness,
All the wonderful things you’ve done,
But in the end it will all be worthless,
If you never acknowledged God’s Son.
Though you thought yourself righteous,
God’s standard is higher than yours,
Thus after you have given your speech,
The Angels will show you to the doors.
So shocked by this unexpected outcome,
You may protest as you’re carried away,
Please don’t let this be your own story,
Be smart and accept Jesus Christ today.
