Not everyone who calls Christ as Lord,
Shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven;
But doing the will of God is not ignored,
If pleasure to the Father has been given.
A great number of people having said,
That they had prophesied in His name;
But accused of casting evil spirits instead,
Of the good works of Christ to proclaim.
Christ shall have no knowledge of them,
To consider them evil and be turned away;
As judged by Christ they are condemn,
Unable to travel the Heavenly highway.
So everyone who adheres to His Word,
To be given favor and considered wise:
As their name in Heaven shall be heard,
And God showing approval in His eyes.
For their salvation will be solid as a rock,
Built just like a house with a foundation;
Given its strength with brick and block,
Away from the sandy soil of temptation.
