Escape (February 21, 2012)
By Allan Thomasson

Escape, escape, for time is short,
The ‘day’ is hast’ning on.
Believe in Jesus Christ, the Lord,
The Church will soon be gone.

The Church is true believers in
The mighty name of Jesus;
Who gave His life for every one,
And by His death, He frees us.

The only way that’s ‘out’ is ‘up’.
And Christ is coming soon.
We do not know the day, or hour;
It’s morning, night, or noon.

God sent His Son to every one,
On Him we must believe;
And righteousness, His own, He’ll give;
Eternal life receive.

When Jesus comes, be ready then
To mount up to the sky,
Where all believers then shall rise,
And bid this world ‘goodbye’.

Oh, don’t be late, don’t hesitate,
For soon He’ll shut the door.
Then opportunity is gone,
Your fate for ‘evermore’

Shall then be set, for waiting yet,
And Christ for you is gone.
You cannot go, but here, below,
Your life will linger on

Until you reach that great white throne,
Where judgment then, so sure,
Will be the everlasting fate
Of all, for there’s no cure

For God’s eternal judgment on
Those who were left behind;
And many things will then be thought
Within your troubled mind,

‘For just one chance, one circumstance,
To once again receive
That Jesus, Who, though preached to you
You never did believe.’

What hope have you, not knowing, too,
That time when He appears?
For all your life, through sin and strife,
He’s been there, all those years.

If you are reading this appeal
To your eternal soul,
You still have time. You can repent,
And live, as ages roll

Eternally. For you and me,
We have one choice to make:
Take Jesus Christ to be your Savior:
Now! For heaven sake.

Can you now see? Come, live with me
In that home beyond the blue;
For Jesus died for every one
To save both me, and you.

　

God loves you: love Him back!
