Games....
These games with God I play,
I die a little more everyday.
Why am I blind and can not see,
that Jesus cries just for me?
My life is full of willful sin!
Darkness, death and evil dwell within.
The Lord is coming like a thief.
I had better change my my evil belief.
I will be thrown into that searing fire,
without a chance of changing my evil desire.
I am now dead but still I thrive.
The precious blood of Jesus keeps me alive.
Living day to day is what I do,
praying that Christ will see me through.
