Analysis of A Reminder From The Lord...



The day was a Sunday and all thru the church,
All of the Christians were out looking for lost souls to search.
For the Lord has a mission for us all to begin,
We must try to save as many as possible from this world of sin.
You see the devil has a way of deceiving your mind,
To the evilness of his ways he'll make your eyes blind.
But with the Lord on your side you can't help but win,
Because Jesus will open your eyes to the devil's ways of sin.
Well if by chance you're wondering - if you're going to Heaven or Hell,
You should get down on your knees and begin to pray very well.
For the Lord will forgive any sin you have done,
He sent us a Saviour who died on the cross - He sent His only Son.
Jesus paid the price for our sins up on His hands and head,
While hanging on the cross crying out to God until He was dead.
So next time you're wondering - with my prayers can He hear,
Just remember He died for us all on the cross - the message is clear!
