"For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the
world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."
(John 3:16 - 17 KJV)

The Eleventh Hour
There was once a man heedless of care
The world was his oyster
And with money to spare, he had all he
needed
With everything bright,
He laughed when I told him there would
one day be night,
That man heeding nothing.
His whole world was stayed on the things
he had
Gathered, the plans he had made,
He had power and a bright agile mind,
That brought him the joys that very few
find
I told him of Christ how He died on a
tree to ransom the souls
Of people like me and he laughed as he
said,
God didn't ask him if he wanted
A saviour to die for his sin,
Not my fault he said if the Lord God did
die,
No, God understands, don't fret I'll get
by
There's plenty of time and God wont turn
me down,
He is gracious your saviour
He'll still be around
So midnight is coming when I will need
God's son
Does it matter what time I accept what
He has done,
If it's even eleven there's still time
to to spare
There's no cause for worry
Someday I'll get there
The Eleventh hour seemed a long way away
Though he said when that time comes, I
will seek God and pray,
It is really the reason for him I have
cried
That hour never came at ten thirty he died
