Poet's Pen

Turn Around

Are you wearing a false face,
Trying to live a double life?
Have you been deceived by the devil.
Wounded by his cunning hellish knife?
Do you profess to know almighty God,
Yet rationalize your sins and go astray?
Can you continue to compromise the truth?
Repent, 'Be Ye Holy…' God does say!

Love not the world, neither the things in it;
Turn around, stop feeding your lustful flesh.
Wash your soul in the blood of Christ;
Be broken over your foolish, disobedient mess.
Church get ready, come out from among them;
Be not stiff-necked, neither hardhearted within.
You have been called to a higher standard;
It's time to grieve,---God sees your sin!

Fear the Lord, humble yourself, depart from evil.
You can't be cold or lukewarm, don't you know?
You must choose to obey the Gospel of Christ,
To escape the wrath to come, anguish and woe.
Where will you stand on judgement day?
Seek the Lord while He may be found.
Get on your knees and pray right now!
Forsake your sin, from wicked ways turn around!

He will forgive you…Oh, what amazing grace!
Love Him, who loves you most of all.
His mercy is reaching out to you;
Turn around, take heed to His call!
