Maybe you don’t listen
Or maybe you hold a grudge
If you listen to me once, listen now
One day, we will all be judged

You will appear in Heaven
And as you take a look
An angel will be at the gate
Looking for your name in a Book

And then, if you didn’t repent
The angel will look up and say
“I do not see your name here
You can not go this way”

“NO!” you’ll think in disbelief
None of this can be real
“Please, let me speak to God
I can make an appeal”

And then you will hear a Voice
So very kind and clear
He will say your name and ask
“Do you want to stay here?”

“Yes! I want to be here with You”
And then you’ll hear Him say
“I never knew you, my child
I’ll have to turn you away.

You never put your faith in me
You said I didn’t give you reason
Reason to believe that I exist
Well, my child, didn’t you see the seasons?

I made the stars shine, the sun rise
I made you draw each breath
I did all this for you
I even sent my Son to death

I let Him die so you could stay
Here in Heaven above
But you were blind to all I’ve done
You refused to see My love

But now, my child, it’s too late
You can stay here no more”
So He will make you go away
You’ll be outside the door

And before you go to eternal death
You will make one more plea
To stay in the Heavenly light
Because you don’t want to leave

“God, why did you do this to me?
Why don’t you offer me help?
And then God will look and say
“You did this to yourself”

So, listen while you’ll still alive
Because you'll never know
When you're Judgement Day may be
You'll never know until you go

Very nice work!  I find it so hard to believe people can say they see no evidence of God.  Goes to show we do have free will and people will believe what they WANT rather than what's proven.  Jesus never performed a miracle SO someone would believe, but rather BECAUSE they already believed,it seems.

Thank you for your poem.  Judgment is not a subject we like to think about(like love, grace, & heaven), but something for which we must prepare, for all must there appear, and the vast majority of humanity will sadly find out, they waited too late! Your poem is very good--chilling & sobering--a good thought(and hopefully, action) -provoker!
  Thanks for sharing it with us,   David
