Truth and Deception
Forever and forever is in truth a long long time
And those who live forever will find living is sublime
As each day with our Saviour we'll explore the things He's made
One with Him through the ages by the dearest Price He paid
But some would teach you other than the truth that God has shared
They'd tell you all's not heaven for the ones who never cared
About the living Gospel in the Bible that we see
That those who lost salvation will still live eternally
They'd tell you there's a fire that's for torturing the lost
For sins that they committed when they cared not for the Cost
God placed upon the altar when Christ died for you and me
As if we were immortal either way most naturally
But scripture is explicit in the message that it gives
That only those found faithful will be one with Him Who lives
Eternally in heaven ruling from His throne above
The Father Son and Holy Ghost Whose rule is based on love
And not on fear and anguish that so long has been the rule
Of those who use the fear of death like their enslaving tool
For as the Bible tells us there's no fear at all in love
Or else the truth is not the truth the Bible tells us of
For is we study scripture as it is our right to do
We'll see there is a heaven for the righteous to go to
But Hell's another subject to be studied well to see
It's also love's appointment for the people God made free
That place without the City when the last act will be played
When Satan and his minions will regret the choice they made
And fire rains from heaven to destroy them stock and vine
The ones whom God so long had sought to give a Christlike mind
But whom had chosen falsehood and the fables made of men
And all the lustful pleasures that secured them in their sin
That will be burned to ashes in that day when God reveals
The final revelation that fulfills the seven seals
And then only the faithful will receive the life He gives
That never will expire for as long as Jesus lives
And will be filled with pleasures that the saints have never known
As they will reap the blessings that for them through Christ were sown
Psalm 146; Revelation 11:15-19; Malachi 4:1-3; Hebrews 2:14-15
