Destiny after Death

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many, and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation" (Hebrews 9:27,28).

It is appointed once to die,
Then comes our destiny:
When God shall stand to justify
Or judge eternally.

Those who look for Jesus Christ
Have trusted in His grace,
Who for their sins was sacrificed;
And they shall see His face.

Those who will not trust the Savior,
Whose hearts will never budge,
And won't repent of their behavior,
Shall meet Him as their Judge.

O Lord, renew our urgency
To pray for the salvation
Of those who by complacency
Draw near to condemnation.

Renew our joy, O Lord, as well,
For Your enduring love
That changed our destiny from hell
To live with You above!
