Poems By Phyllis Corbin / last year Share Tweet Pin Share Jesus the Promise ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Author Unknown I had on new clothes New sneakers 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 But now it’s too late. I’m standing in this room And I can see the heavenly gate.. Oh no! I never prayed. I thought I had time to get it straight! An angel walked to me He had a book in his hand. I knew it was the Book of Life When would this dream end? I told him my nameAnd he began to look. Then he looked at me sadly And said Your name is not in this book. Angel this is a dream No, I can’t be dead! He closed the book and turned away He whispered – You cannot proceed ahead. No…no this can’t be real Angel, you can’t turn me Away. Let me talk to God may be He’ll let me stay. He led me to the gate Jesus came to me. He did not let me in but said “Beloved, what is your need?” 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. Then it hit me hard, I said “Lord where will I go?” He looked into my eyes and said “My child you already know.” Please, Jesus, I begged “The place is so hot.” It seemed to trouble and grieve him He whispered”DEPART FROM ME I KNOW YOU NOT. Lord you’re supposed to be love How can you send me to damnation? He replied With your mouth you said you loved me But each day you Rejected my salvation. With that in an instant Day turned into night. I never knew such torture could be Now too late, I know the Bible is right. If I can tell you anything Hell has no age. It is a place of torture Separated from God! And full of rage. You know I thought it was funny a joke But this one thing is true. If you never accept Jesus Christ HELL IS WAITING FOR YOU! So please ask Him into your heart. ************************ If you have enjoyed reading this Just A Thought post, please consider sharing on social media.
