BOOT ‘N HOOT<\/p>\n

Well, you can say what you like,
\nBut I honestly don’t give a hoot,
\nHowever, if you reject the Lord,
\nYou will get the celestial boot.<\/p>\n

That’s right, no Heaven for you,
\nGotta be washed in the Blood,
\nShort of that, you are lost pal,
\nAnd sinking fast in Hell’s mud.<\/p>\n

I tried hard to get thru to you,
\nBut you refused to give an ear,
\nThinking that you were smart,
\nYou told me to get out of here.<\/p>\n

Yet even still, I stuck around,
\nTo offer you another chance,
\nI was hoping you’d soften up,
\nAnd give God’s Word a glance.<\/p>\n

But no, you are just too proud,
\nWanting to do it your own way,
\nDo you know what will happen,
\nWhen God judges you one day?<\/p>\n

All the things that you’ve done,
\nWill be worthless in God’s sight,
\nThen at last you’ll understand,
\nWhat I told you was really right.<\/p>\n

By that time, once you’ve died,
\nSadly, it will simply be too late,
\nThe Lord will then look at you,
\nAnd say \u201cYou chose your fate.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
