Gospel

The Kingdom of Heaven is as a treasure,
That remains hidden in a field of wealth;
Which man when found, finds pleasure,
Acquiring the field at a cost of his health.

The Kingdom of Heaven is as a merchant,
Searching for to trade in beautiful jewels;
Then locates one jewel that is so brilliant,
Willing to give up all and break the rules.

The Kingdom of Heaven is just like a net,
Cast out into the sea for a variety of fish;
In becoming full they looked at their asset,
Saving the good fish while bad ones banish.

So to be the same at the end of the world,
As angels weed out the bad from the good;
While God and His plan is slowly unfurled,
To reveal to all just how everything should.

And the rejects to be thrown into the fire,
As they weep and cry out with their pleas;
Maybe you understand God and His desire,
And for you to keep praying on your knees.
