Death's Grave Inevitable

 

2 Cor.5:9-10

Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent,

to be well pleasing to Him.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,

that each one may receive the things done in the body,

according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

Death and Dying-Alistair Begg

Death can spring like a hidden trap; eternity unfurled

Without warning; light or darkness the soul’s forever-world

No in-between; one of two destinies, Heaven or hell

Waits at the Gates of Final Breath’s Grave Inevitable

Where we will all appear before the judgement seat of Christ

To receive just reward for deeds just as He has promised

Where time will roll up like a scroll, when God at last is seen

As Death’s Grave Inevitable rends the frail veil between

So, pray that we aspire to please Him, first and foremost

To make the God of our salvation our utter boast

Because He loves us so and has conquered Death so that we

At its Grave Inevitable will taste its victory

Death can spring like a hidden trap; eternity unfurled

Without warning it flings ajar the soul’s forever-world

Today we choose one of two destinies; Heaven or hell

Waits at the Gates of Final Breath’s Grave Inevitable
