It’s the absence of the fullness
That’s most heartbreaking indeed –
Knowing that the opportunity
Forever won’t be seen.
It’s the torment and regret
Knowing that the time was there,
To make that ultimate decision
But too ensnared with worldly cares.
It’s the thickness of the darkness
Where no light can ever shine;
It’s the heart wrenching thought of never hearing
‘Fear not…you are Mine.”
It’s the gnashing of the teeth
Remembering all deceptive ways,
Where their opinions no longer matter
But where constant torture will remain.
It’s knowing that God’s pure bliss
Our spiritual eyes will never see,
And exempt from everlasting life
Where the chains won’t set us free.
But there’s nobody to blame
And no excuse will ever stand,
Because the message it was preached
And according to God’s plan.
When the ear is dull of hearing
And the heart is hardened too,
It’s a dangerous place to be
When our darkness becomes truth.
But whilst there’s breath there is true hope
To return since there is time;
To receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior
Where eternal life we’ll find.
The cross of Christ is significant;
It’s where death has crossed to life –
Where resurrected power brings a new birth
And where God’s wrath only subsides.
