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 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
