Drifting In (revised)

You can't drift into heaven

just on a whim.

There are sacrifices to be made,

time to be paid -

reading your Bible,

stretching out your hand to help the widows and orphans,

and those of us

who are less fortunate,

like the man on the street

holding up a sign that says he'd work to eat.

Your pretty words won't get you

into the doors.

Neither will your works

or your poor attitude.

Asking God for forgiveness of your sins

and turning your heart over to Him

is the only way to get in.

Jesus is the bridge.

Can't you hear that celestial choir

singing praises every second of every day,
 of every hour, 
for eternity?

That's what you win

if you don't drift in.

Revelation 4:8

Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.”
