Accountable

makes one very accountable
in spite of one’s own views
____
not able to claim innocence
no plea has one to give
in order that one may offer
to have a chance to live
____
standing before the throne of God
trembling deep in fear
what defense can hope to offer
the condemned waiting there
____
pronounced guilty still in their shame
their sin not washed away
too late for grace to save their souls
no hope to ever pray
____
because God will bring all to mind
the times He sent His word
reflected on a hardened heart
He shows how one has heard
____
that justice is fair and right
man’s will has gone too late
when God rejects the soul He gave
a fiery lake does wait
____
don’t be foolish rejecting Christ
receive His word with glee
having faith to believe the truth
and live eternally
