Hell Is Real

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I went into my classroom

Ready for another year at school.

I didn’t want the work,

Just wanted to hang and be cool.

I had on new clothes,

New sneaks on my feet.

I was there for class on time

Went to the back and took my seat.

Yeah, I’m moving up.

I’m already grown.

Soon I’ll be graduating

And out on my own.

I talked to some of my friends.

We were all having fun.

Said some things I shouldn’t have said,

Did stuff I shouldn’t have done.

I knew I was different.

I felt God touch my heart.

I knew I should set a standard,

But then I’d be set apart.

Walking to the bus,

I was not looking for strength.

I heard the car tires screeching,

Jesus, I cried, please

Don’t cast me away from you.

Tears ran down His face as He said,

You knew what you needed to do.

Lord, please I’m young.

I never thought I would die.

I thought I’d have plenty of time.

Death caught me by surprise.

Lord, I went to church.

Please Jesus, I believe.

He said you would not accept me.

My love you would not receive.

Lord, there were too many hypocrites.

They weren’t being true.

He took a step back and asked

What does that have to do with you?

Lord, my family claimed to be saved,

They weren’t real. You know.

He said, I died for you.

Now I have to go.

I fell to my knees crying to Him.

Lord, I planned to be real tomorrow.

I couldn’t, make Him understand.

I had never -- felt such sorrow.
