This is a message that everyone must hear.

Jesus showed me that great light and stopped my mad flight.

Then the world to Paul said, we will now take off thy head.

So eternal life you will not win.

And then in God’s love I will live it.

And I tell you all, this is what HE does require.

Mary said, He will bring down the high and raise up the low;

And that is the best thing that I know.

God said, Worship my Son for HE is the only one

That can save you and cleanse you from sin.

If you refuse then into hell you will descend. 

Get on board this glorious ship.

We are going on a very long trip!
