Judgment or Jubilation?

"Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the Word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from your, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.... And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the Word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed" (Acts 13:46-48).

There is a choice that we will make
For judgment or for jubilation.
Eternal life is here at stake!
There's danger in procrastination!

Men judge themselves unworthy when
They choose to let the days slip by,
But days turn into years and then
Their choice is over when they die.

Why then should this be the case
When Jesus Christ now lives to save?
Why should we refuse His grace,
And choose instead a Christless grave?

Souls judge themselves unworthy of
The mercy of God's great salvation
When they neglect His Gift of love,
And choose thereby His condemnation.
