AS I DRIFTED OFF TO SLEEP LAST NIGHT
I WAS TAKEN SO FAR AWAY,
IT SEEMED LIKE I WAS DRIFTING FAST
AND MY FLIGHT WAS IN THE DAY.
ALL OF A SUDDEN I CAME TO A HALT
AND I SAW A BIG WHITE GATE,
IT WASN'T LOCKED SO I STEPPED INSIDE
NOT REALIZING IT WAS MY FATE.
I WAS INSIDE A VERY LARGE ROOM
AS WHITE AS WHITE COULD BE.
THERE WERE MILLIONS OF NAME THERE
BUT MINE I COULD NOT SEE.
ALL THE NAMES WERE IN BLACK AND WHITE
THAT WAS WRITTEN ON THE WALL,
THE RED WAS DIPPED IN BLOODSTAIN
I COULD NOT SEE THEM ALL.
A MAN STOOD THERE WATCHING ME
WITH A BEARD AND LONG WHITE ROBE,
WHERE AM I? AND WHY AM I HEAR?
ON MY HEART WAS A HEAVY LOAD.
WELL MY CHILD THOSE NAMES YOU SEE
ALL COME FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE,
AND IF YOUR NAME IS WRITTEN IN RED
YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY AT ALL.
I SUDDENLY STARTED TO SHIVER
AS TEARS RAN FROM MY EYES,
I WAS STANDING BEFORE THE JUDGEMENT
AND THERE WAS NOWHERE I COULD HIDE.
ALL THE NAME THAT ARE WRITTEN IN BLACK
ARE DOOMED FOR THE GATES OF HELL,
IT WAS THEN I SUDDENLY REALIZED,
THAT MINE WAS THERE AS WELL.
DEAR FATHER IN HEAVEN,I FELL TO MY KNEES
PLEASE FORGIVE ME LORD I PRAY,
OH NO, MY CHILD ITS NOW TO LATE
FOR THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY.
DAY AFTER DAY I CALLED TO YOU
YOU WANTED NO PART OF ME,
YOU LAUGHED, SCORNED, AND MOCKED
AT THE PEOPLE WHO TURNED TO ME.
NOW YOUR TIME IS FINALLY OVER
AND YOUR JUDGEMENT, YOU MUST FACE
BECAUSE YOU TURNED AWAY FROM ME
AND WOULD NOT ACCEPT MY GRACE.
I SCREAMED OUT SO LOUD IN HORROR
PLEASE MY LORD LET ME COME IN,
I AM TIRED OF ALL THE DEVILS LIES
THAT HAVE EVER CAUSED ME TO SIN.
AS I LAY AT THE FEET OF THE MASTER
BEGGING FOR A BREAK,
IT WAS THEN MY EYES FLEW OPEN
I WAS IN MY BED AWAKE.
MY HEART BEGAN TO QUIVER
MY LORD WHAT HAVE I DONE,
I HAD TIME IN LIFE FOR EVERYTHING
EXCEPT YOUR ONLY SON.
I BOWED MY HEAD IN SILENCE
DEAR LORD PLEASE SET ME FREE,
AND I WILL SPEND FOREVER LORD
FAITHFULLY SERVING THEE.
