When your roll calls up yonder
And u face almighty God and he says to u
Depart from me I know u not
And u see hell watching u
A place of torment
U will be sorry but it’s too late
I know death is sure
But it just goes to show one min u here the next you out gone
Many fight for land house money car luxury
They don’t even know if they will
Live to enjoy such
Cause bay the end don’t matter what back door front door u go when God say it’s your time to
Go
It is exactly soo
For the ones that keep his name do according to his works continue
To the ones who fights for things of the earth
Turn from your wicked ways and let him heal
Your land make peace because u never know when it’s your time but it’s coming to all one day
I’m sure he would’ve had plans etc
It goes to show us
Only God knows the future
