FACTS ARE FACTS<\/p>\n

Well the facts still remain the facts,
\nNo matter what anyone may claim,
\nSo if your goal is to go to Heaven,
\nYou’ve gotta trust in Jesus’ name.<\/p>\n

Sure, argue as much as you want,
\nAnd spew all kinds of wicked lies,
\nBut there is one thing for certain,
\nThe truth is clear when one dies.<\/p>\n

You can foolishly wait to find out,
\nGamble with the fate of your soul,
\nBut your time for choosing is over,
\nOnce you are in that six-foot hole.<\/p>\n

The Lord gives you an entire life,
\nHe waits patiently for your belief,
\nBut if you fight against His Spirit,
\nAfter death you will get no relief.<\/p>\n

So forsake your stubborn pride,
\nAnd admit what a mess you are,
\nAccept Jesus as the true Savior,
\nYou\u2019ll have a better future by far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
