Surely we cannot say that we didn’t know,
His messengers many warnings had given,
But we were so drunk on that wicked spirit,
And so to greater sin we were simply driven.
Across the country like a rampant disease,
Our foolish rebellion just so rapidly spread,
Oh how we danced so wildly in city streets,
Not once did we really stop to think ahead.
But then the sands of time suddenly ran out,
And a wrathful God said we had gone too far,
So just like that His judgments began to fall,
And now in tribulation is where we sadly are.
The sound of mirth is now quiet everywhere,
And only weeping and terrible sadness reign,
While even tho we try to console each other,
There’s just no ridding ourselves of this pain.
Rebellious children stricken by an angry God,
Even our desperate prayers He will not hear,
But now we understand that it’s our own fault,
Because we did not give His prophets an ear.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16, KJV
“Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 10:32-33, KJV
“Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth. And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man. And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.” Matthew 26:69-74, KJV
“Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:38, KJV
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16, KJV

That old Satan is just a speed demon.
He wants you in Hell as fast as he can,
He will throw every single trick at you,
So you won’t think about the Son of Man.
Yes, alcohol, women, gay sex and drugs,
Are at the top of his sneaky, sinful list,
And gambling, hard rock music and porn,
Will just leave you in a deceptive mist.
Everything that will please your flesh,
He’s more than happy to throw your way,
But when your whole sad life is through,
You will be his property on Judgment Day.
It’s Saturday night, your TV shows are on,
So bring out the pretzels, pizza and beer,
Never mind that you worked hard all week,
And never once even gave God your ear.
Your Bible’s lost somewhere in the closet,
But DVDs are neatly stacked on your shelf,
Time to watch hours of sex and violence,
You should really be ashamed of yourself.
You call yourself a devoted Christian,
Yet ignore Jesus every day of your life,
God’s Word says that we’re married to Him,
Yet you don’t act like His spiritual wife.
“So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:54-57, KJV
“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5, KJV
