The Immoral Soul

Mark 8:36-38

What shall a man profit and what is to gain,
Winning the entire world then going insane;
What is to gain when you loose your soul?
Like the burning embers left from the coal;
Once the fire has burned heat slowly dies,
As your soul starts to whither as it dries;
What is the soul of man worth to convert?
Is worth of eternal life in Heaven to avert?
Whoever ashamed of Christ and His words,
So shall He treat them as a lot of cowards;
When He comes again in Heavenly glory,
Reign as judge and His angels as the jury.
Such an adulterous and sinful time as this,
Openly gay couples share more than a kiss;
People see no shame lack of moral value,
But praying in a public school is a taboo;
Christians wonder when this all will end,
I say have patience and wait for a friend;
Jesus Christ will come as the judge of that,
On immorality showing them where it is at.
