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.

Under the Levitical Law of the Old Testament era, even though the Israelites had been slaves for hundreds of years while in Egypt, upon their liberation from Egypt, they were permitted to purchase and sell slaves which were acquired from the heathen nations which surrounded them:
“Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour. And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the strangers family: After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him: Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself. And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him. If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption. And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight. And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.” Leviticus 25:44-54, KJV
In contrast, the Israelites were NOT allowed to own slaves who were of their own Israelite brethren:
“And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant: But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile: And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return. For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen. Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.” Leviticus 25:39-43, KJV
