FINAL SLEEP

 

Final sleep only opens up a door

While it firmly closes one behind

No turning back to the life you knew

Now a different one you'll find

 

What's through this door is decided

By the decisions you made on earth

Whether you rejected saving grace

Or embraced God's new birth

 

See the door now open up to you

Beyond it is there a shinning light

Is there a golden street ahead of you

Are you heading towards a mansion bright

 

Can you hear the choirs of angels

Are you meeting Jesus face to face

Are you lying on His breast in comfort

Held firmly in His warm embrace

 

Can you hear His well done

As He wipes every teardrop away

Come my child enter into your rest

You are in my home to stay

 

Or have you walked through the door

Only darkness meets your eyes

The tormenting flames are leaping

In that place where the worm never dies

 

Do you hear the wails of anguish

The gnashing of many teeth

Do you hear the screams of terror

In the bottomless pit with not beneath

 

Oh that door is coming near

Every moment towards it you creep

Make that decision for your soul

Before you fall into final sleep
