Of Brimstone and Fire



Fear Him who holds the two-edged sword! 
Even Him, whom you doth willfully ignore!
A day will come, every mouth will call him Lord! 
Rath will pour onto mankind, such as never seen before!

Of brimstone, fire it will rain,
For earth refused to cleanse her sinful ways!

God will not be mocked!
Of what you sow today in sin,
Day will come to pass, the same you'll also glean!

Is it blindness that hath closed your way to Him?
Surely, you still have an ear to hear?

The end is nigh my fellow man!
Human, mortal, let Him wipe your sin away, 
Even now, ask while you still can!

Beginning, end, and time between, 
Every day that passes now,
Grows the rath-filled vial: human sin!
If only you could understand today;
Nothing of this earth can block His way,
Nothing will escape that fearsome day! 
Indeed, awake, run and make amend, 
Needest him whose blood was shed,
Go, before the trumpet signals this life's end!

Of water and of Spirit must be born again,   
Forever, only then, with Him in heaven you can reign.

Wisdom speak these words of mine,
In fear of God they venture forth,
So heed this exhortation friend! 
Dire is your journey without God, 
Obey the law, His living word!
Merciful is He, to pay the price which you cannot afford..
