BOOK OF LIFE<\/p>\n

In the great Halls of Heaven,
\nThere exists a wonderful tome,
\nWithin its many written pages,
\nIt tells who is welcome Home.<\/p>\n

Many names are recorded there,
\nYet sadly many others are not,
\nIf one’s name isn’t found in it,
\nThey’ll go to a place very hot.<\/p>\n

But those who’ve accepted Jesus,
\nAre written in this Book of Life,
\nGod will accept them most gladly,
\nAs His obedient spiritual wife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
