Judgment to Prayer

1 Peter 4:6 -9

The Gospel is preached even to the dead,
In accordance to the judgment they dread;
Being of the flesh but as of spirit to God,
For being judged in all that they're flawed;
But the end of all known things is at hand,
Living of sound mind for you to understand;
Being thoughtful and sincere in your prayer,
Continuing fervent in a love that you share;
For love can cover a multitude of your sin,
Remain hospitable as you sustain discipline.
Life will soon change the way you now know,
Whether it's off to Heaven or to an inferno;
For on that Day of Judgment when it comes,
He'll see if we were instigators or victims;
Checking if we are clean in heart and mind,
If there are any remarks that are maligned;
Ignorance is no excuse within God's eyes,
Having a lifetime filled in deceit and lies;
Time has come to open the Bible and read,
As well as praying to God for to concede.
