If God would use a testing sieve
Auditioning for life
Do you believe you’ll rise to live?
Beyond hell’s pit and strife
If silver, rest; for you could buy
Or gold, reserve life’s share
Must God sit back and watch you die?
Without a single prayer
If grace a challenge should convene
An honourable event
Would you take part with Heaven’s queen?
Or must you first repent?
If wisdom, could secure your place
Knowledge, a pass divine
Would you survive to see God’s face?
Or drown yourself in wine?
If church, could give security
Render life’s offered vow
Would you receive a guarantee?
Or would your head still bow?
If saying “No” still doomed to die
From self, you must abstain
On God alone henceforth rely
Through Christ when born again
Nothing upon this world of ours
Today or evermore
No sinner, saint, demonic powers
Can open Heaven’s Door
When knowing this, my friend today
Knowing what’s up above
Could there be words or anyway
For God to show more love…..
