Decisions
Brian Bevels 1977 (Centre al)
The time is soon coming
And the day is drawing near.
We're going to hear the sound of a trumpet
And out of the eastern sky our Lord will appear.
He will be coming on a cloud
When he splits the eastern sky.
He will be looking for his chosen ones
To take to His home on high.
There we will walk upon streets of gold
And we get to set at Jesus feet.
Nothing down here on earth
Will ever be able to compete.
We will have a mansion like he promised
And no more sorrow like he said.
Because we made a decision to be a new man
And let the old man be dead.
Jesus made a decision one day
To die that we could be free.
Given the choice of Heaven or hell
What will your answer be ?
