It doesn't matter you might say...

It doesn't matter you might say,
We'll all be in heaven anyway.
But that's not true, and I'll tell you why,
That's just why Jesus came to die.

You see, God is a Holy being,
That's a fact we may not be seeing.
Man by nature, has sinful plans,
And in God's presence, man can't stand.

The difference is as night and day,
You turn light on, dark flees away.
It's not about just being good,
And living like we think we should.

God is Holy, and we too must be,
That's why Christ died for you and me.
His blood was shed to pay sins price,
Accept Him now, that's good advice.

His Holiness will cover us so,
Our sins forgiven, we will know.
And God the Father on Judgment day,
Will see Jesus only, and judgment stay.

Just call out " LORD", "Please save me now",
In Your presence, I humbly bow.
Repent and turn from sinful ways,
And let Christ Jesus, plan your days.

A bed of roses it may not be,
But in His strength you'll always see.
Your future glory in heaven one day,
Makes earthly trials just fade away...
