WHAT WILL HOLD YOU BACK?
At the trumpet sound
When saints will go to meet the Lord
What will hold you back
Prevent your rapture with the saints
What will be the stain
The wrinkle and the blemishes
What will be the spot
What’s that weight that will hold you down
Just a little lie
God understands He’ll overlook
He knows the reason
I told the lie to make ends meet
I had to escape
The punishment I would have faced
That lie will for you
Be the thing that will hold you back
Immorality
Fornication or adultery
Any secret sin
Of which you refuse to repent
All uncleanliness
In thought or words or in your deeds
Surely will prevent
Your rapture with Christ’s glorious Church
Anger clamour wrath
That’s my weakness I can’t help it
It’s my temperament
That’s the person I am made of
But this temperament
Makes you so much unlike your Lord
Such that you won’t be
Among the saints He’ll recognize
Pride and arrogance
Of who you are and what you have
Although not obvious
Just a pinch of lucifer’s sin
That pinch is enough
To rob you of eternal joy
If you don’t repent
And get washed in the Saviour’s blood
So full of gossip
Idle talk and unwholesome words
Ungodly chit-chat
You can’t deny yourself to have
These same idle words
May hold you back from going with Christ
For in so much words
There is a tendency to sin
I won’t forgive her
We’ll settle it before God’s throne
My dear friend take heed
You can’t get there in the first place
Settle the strife now
Forgive all who offended you
For if you do not
At trumpet sound it will be late
The money you owe
You promised that you will pay back
But you’ve refused to
Despite having the means to pay
You’re avoiding him
So he won’t ask for what he’s owed
At the trumpet sound
It will be late to look for Him
That thing that you took
The property that is not yours
You say you are saved
But it’s still in your custody
No restitution
You’re just alright with keeping it
At the trumpet sound
It will be too late to return
Now we have the time
Self examination to do
Salvation from sin
Restitutions where necessary
Grace to live spotless
Grace for a holy walk with Him
He will give to us
As we pray and we ask from Him
By the grace of God
When saints will go to meet the Lord
Nothing will stop us
Prevent our rapture with the saints
There will be no stain
No wrinkle and no blemishes
There will be no spot
And no weight that will hold us down. AMEN
