Why chance it?
Why chance it?
JESUS said HE would return… but if “you” knew the date…
Would you continue on in sin… or would you hesitate?
After all HE would forgive us… for each sin performed…
Would you engage in sinfulness… or show HIM you’ve reformed?
GOD looks upon our “hearts” HE said… and not upon our person…
Why would you take a chance with sin… when things for you could worsen?
Even if you “knew” the date… GOD has decreed… for HIS return…
Would you try to squeeze sin in… and risk a fatal burn?
Would you be a better person… making friends with those you meet?
Or would you simply keep ignoring… those new folks you greet?
Would you go to Church on Sunday? Would you cease drinking booze?
There’s many vices we could have… which ones would “you” lose?
You may elect to keep on sinning… with your mistress on the sly…
Or your boyfriend still comes calling… when your husband isn’t nigh…
There’s many forms of evil… we could partake in every day…
If we knew how long we had “then” we’d have more time to play….
Besides… if my sins are cleansed… why should I end them… “now”?
Doesn’t JESUS wipe them clean… “after” I make that vow?
This is true! HE does forgive us… for all the sins we’ve done…
But “why” would you want to add some more? Why another one?
We should be grateful… we’re forgiven… and we’ve received HIS Grace…
JESUS paid a grievous price… for our sins to erase…
Why would you think to add one more on lists of sins committed?
HE’S forgiven us for all of them… even sins we’ve not admitted…
Don’t think that you could fool our GOD… HE doesn’t wink at sin…
You can’t live with one foot in the world… and expect to walk right in…
NOW’s the time to take a stand!… Even if you knew that date….
Forsake your sins and live for HIM… with GOD it’s not too late…
No man knows that day or hour… that our GOD alone… has “set”!
But if we did… we should be grateful… that HE has paid our “debt”…
We “all” should be “expecting” that day HE calls us out….
Keep listening for the trumpet… and also for HIS shout!

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Matthew 24:42-44
