Just One More Opportunity

"Just one more opportunity."
said the spirit deep in hell
"I’m sorry I lived as I did
when on the earth I dwelled."
____
never to be given a chance
no hope beyond the grave
no more opportunities come
no matter how it craves
____
caught in the evil jaws of flame
torment without reprieve
forever conscious of one’s choice
one’s choice not to believe
____
for every soul that God did give
each one did choose his way
opportunities that they had
believing God in faith
____
will there be in eternity
a moment in your thoughts
of opportunities you had
but denied the Christ you’ve fought
____
over and over God has tried
to woo you with His love
asking you to believe in Him
for grace that He’s made of
____
just one more opportunity
extends to you today
accept what Christ has to offer
He’ll hear you if you pray
