Day of Judgment

Revelation 3:14-18

These things say certain witness to be true,
Of a new order the head of God start anew;
For Christ has knowledge of all your deeds,
Not being cold or warm as He intercedes;
It might be better if you were cold or warm,
As to the Word of God how you conform;
Since you are neither, Christ wants no part,
With keeping the door locked on your heart,
You say that Christ is rich beyond dreams,
With abundant goods and land as it seems;
But you being unaware of your own state,
Being poor and blind unknowing your fate.
In the near future you might see a judge,
His name is Jesus Christ not to begrudge;
Standing before him naked and unclothed,
Showing you the times that you loathed;
The times that you cheated and you lied,
Until they laid you in the grave you died;
On the Day of Judgment we pay the price,
A punishment for not living in a sacrifice.
