Someday Soon

Someday soon now, we'll see the Son
To some of us, He'll say, "Well done"
But to others, "I never knew you"
And men will scramble to steal a look
At all that was promised in the Book
But they'll walk away, never catching a view

They will sadly gaze behind them
At the wasted ruins
The pleasures that they'd purchased
Will vanish soon
Because they never could make any room
For the Lord, for the Lord

And all the things you've gained
Will not insure
A life with Him
A hope that is secure
So, don't get caught looking back
At what you could have been
Just be sure that Jesus
Is the Lord of your life

Someday soon now, I don't know when
The Lamb of God will come again
To receive us, children of the Son
And we will welcome Him with open arms
We won't have to beg or charm Him
We followed close, made Him number one

But some will plead for mercy
As that Book is closed
Speculating how they'd be
They only known
But the only question He will ask
Their hearts of stone
"Who are you? Who are you?"

And all the things you've gained
Will not insure
A life, a life with Him
A hope that is secure
So, don't get caught looking back
At what you could have been
Just be sure that Jesus
Is the Lord of your life
