Living close enough to the edge
That I watch souls
Tumble into hell
I know the Lord well enough
To say
He takes no delight
In their yells
You might call it
An abuse of Grace
But I now believe
Jesus died for
The entire human race
Born in circumstance
The length of life
A passing glance
To burn for eternity
Without a second chance
Is the sound
Of a devil dance
Not the work of a savior
Ripped open
By a Roman lance
A substitute for sin
To be nailed
To a cross
So grim
But the sound
Of of weeping
And gnashing of teeth
For timeless hours
Numbered in trillions
Is not justice formed
In the mind of him
All God does is redemptive
To draw souls to himself
He is just
He does not leave sins unpunished
But his mercy is bigger than life
Search the scriptures
Read the Church Fathers
You might conclude
I am right
A full heaven
And empty hell
Will be to angels
A delight
On that day
When all of humankind
Is made right
There will not be a tear
In sight
That I watch souls
Tumble into hell
I know the Lord well enough
To say
He takes no delight
In their yells
You might call it
An abuse of Grace
But I now believe
Jesus died for
The entire human race
Born in circumstance
The length of life
A passing glance
To burn for eternity
Without a second chance
Is the sound
Of a devil dance
Not the work of a savior
Ripped open
By a Roman lance
A substitute for sin
To be nailed
To a cross
So grim
But the sound
Of of weeping
And gnashing of teeth
For timeless hours
Numbered in trillions
Is not justice formed
In the mind of him
All God does is redemptive
To draw souls to himself
He is just
He does not leave sins unpunished
But his mercy is bigger than life
Search the scriptures
Read the Church Fathers
You might conclude
I am right
A full heaven
And empty hell
Will be to angels
A delight
On that day
When all of humankind
Is made right
There will not be a tear
In sight
