Analysis of What If It Was The End Of The World?



In twilight's grasp, the world meets its demise,
Oh, Christian soul, who claims the sacred name,
Within God's church, where fervent spirits rise,
Contemplate now, the end, a burning flame.

What if it was the end, the final call,
Would jests and levity your stance define?
Regret, a haunting echo, would enthrall,
As time, a gift, was squandered, not divine.

The freedom granted in the fleeting hours,
Yet, dedicated not to Heaven's plea,
The call to be a savior in your bowers,
Neglected, as a futile, vain decree.

Oh, heed this warning, ears that bear the weight,
Prepare thy soul, for God's impending fate.

What if it was the end, a solemn plea,
To face the judgment of eternity
What will you say?
