I went into my classroom
Ready for another year at school.
I didn't want to work
Just wanted to hang and be cool.
I had on new clothes,
New sneakers on my feet.
I was there for class on time
Went to the back and took my seat.
Yeah, I'm moving up.
I'm already grown.
Soon I'll be graduating
And out on my own.
I talked to some of my friends.
We were all having fun.
Said some things I shouldn't have said,
Did stuff I shouldn't have done.
I knew I was different.
I felt God touch my heart.
I knew I should set a standard,
But then I'd be set apart.
Walking to the bus,
I was not looking straight.
I heard the car tires screeching,
But now it's too late.
I'm standing in this room
And I can see the heavenly gate.
Oh no! I never prayed.
I thought I had time to get it straight.
An angel walked to me.
He had a book in his hand.
I knew it was the Book of Life.
When would this dream end?
I told him my name and he began to look.
Then he looked at me sadly and said
Your name is not in this book.
Angel, this is a dream.
No, I can't be dead!
He closed the book and turned away.
He whispered - You can not proceed ahead.
No, no this can't be real.
Angel, you can't turn me away.
Let me talk to God.
Maybe He'll let me stay.
He led me to the gate.
Jesus came to me,
He did not let me in but said,
"Beloved what is your need?"
Jesus, I cried, please
Don't cast me away from you.
Tears ran down His face as He said,
"You knew what you needed to do."
Lord, please I'm young.
I never thought I would die.
I thought I had plenty of time.
Death caught me by surprise.
Lord, I went to church.
Please Jesus, I believe.
He said. "You would not accept me.
My love you would not receive."
Lord, there were too many hypocrites.
They weren't being true.
He took a step back and asked
"What does that have to do with you?"
Lord, my family claimed to be saved,
They weren't real. You know.
He said, "I died for you.
Now I have to go."
I fell to my knees crying to Him.
Lord, I planned to be real tomorrow.
I couldn't make Him understand.
I had never felt such sorrow.
Then it hit me hard, I said
Lord, where will I go?
He looked into my eyes and said,
"My child you already know."
Please Jesus, I begged
The place is so hot.
It seemed to trouble and grieve Him.
He whispered, "DEPART FROM ME I KNOW YOU NOT."
Lord, you're supposed to be love.
How can you send me to damnation?
He replied, "With your mouth you said you loved me,
But each day you rejected my salvation."
With that, in an instant,
Day turned into night.
I never knew such torture could be.
Now too late, I know the Bible is right.
If I can tell you anything,
Hell has no age.
It is a place of torture,
Separated from God and full of rage.
You know I thought it was funny - a joke,
But this one thing is true.
If you never accept Jesus Christ
HELL IS WAITING FOR YOU!
Written by Nikki L. Bennett
Jesus says, "Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven" (Matthew 10:32).
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him" (John 3:26).
Jesus says in hell "their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched" (Matthew 9:48).
Jesus described what hell is like when He says "They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 13:42).
Jesus tells the response of a person in hell "I beg you ... warn my brothers so they will not also come to this place of torment" (Luke 16:28).
