They ask you, "Who do you want to be?"
When you are just a kid-
Instead of preparing your soul
For the eternity that is ahead.
They tell you, "Go to college to be
Educated, smart, successful."
But in the end, you tithed less than a handful,
Only to lose your soul to distractions,
And lose faith when your bank account crashes.

You listen to mainstream music- day 'n' night,
Thinking God is blind in sight,
As if you can hide your lust and pride,
To be left behind by the chosen bride.

You had your car, your house, your job
(All idols capturing the lost)
Thinking that an atheist escapes
The pits of hell that he creates
On Earth with mocking, scoffing, and denying
The few true prophets that aren't lying.
But as one reaps, so shall he sow-
Don't wait 'till it's too late and you are low,
Only to receive the wrath of God- behold!

Your temptation to sin will leave you in regrets,
Now's the time to have your focus set
On the one and only Savior-
Son of God, So he will favor
All the things you've done to save
The cold-hearted souls that you've once betrayed.
And if they don't forgive you your mistakes,
Even though your reputation is at stake,
If you follow your Creator with all your faith,
Your heart, mind, and soul shall be saved!

Repent and know that times ahead
Will test the people that pretend
That the world revolves around the things
Which, they believe, will never end.

"But what will the fallen generation do
When it's time to pay the major dues?
On who's side will you be on?
(Satan's or my only Son's?)"

"Preach the Gospel 'till the deaf hear
Don't let the demons whisper in your ear
That "once saved-always saved" is true.
Be patient, sons and daughters, for all of you
Will go through the fire of persecution."
Don't let them steal your only crucial
Task in life- to Love the Lord:
Wear the helmet, take the sword-
For the Devil seeks, like a lion, to devour,
Those who give up in the last hour.
Praise God and love each other.

Cry out to him when all's in vain,
The world soon won't be the same...
