HOPE BEYOND THE GRAVE

HOPE BEYOND THE GRAVE        


Through Jesus Christ the Son, he took
Man's sin upon self, wanting all to come
And repent at the foot of the cross, but
Many mocked and hurled insults instead

Of repenting, forever lost and condemned
They could have come to HIM, but chose
Corruption's eventual destruction, chasing
After the wind and ways of the world leads

To great sorrow, no hope of tomorrow...but
Jesus says come, there's still room for one
To worship and trust HIM beyond the grave.
