AT THE DROP OF A HAT

Thinking you could die today,
Isn’t a very pleasant thought,
But we should talk about it,
Whether you want to or not.
God has given to each one,
A specific number of years,
Some will be filled with joy,
Others will bring you tears.
But a day eventually comes,
When your time will run out,
It is then that God will reveal,
Just what you were all about.
He will open His great Book,
Wherein your works are told,
Scanning everything you did,
From birth until you grew old.
But there is a particular thing,
He will want to know for sure,
Did you open up your heart,
When He tapped your door?
This is the key to everything,
Were you washed by His Son?
Or did you live your own way,
Living in the flesh having fun?
You could suddenly be gone,
Yes, just at the drop of a hat,
Now if it suddenly happened,
Friend, where would you be at?
And so before your time is up,
I urge you to think this through,
Have you accepted Jesus yet?
Are you in the Book of Life too?
