Graven Secrets

Luke 12:1-5

Beware of the influential for likely deceit,
If they reveal secrets to cause your defeat;
Nothing stays covered as it comes to light,
As rays of truth shine through the night;
For anything you have said within the dark,
Shall be heard as radiant like blinding arc;
Whatever you say secretly inside a house,
Shall move through walls just like a mouse;
Then uttered softly through the beauty shop,
Nearly as if you shouted from the rooftop;
For from Christ having no secrets to quell,
And He has the power to send you into Hell.
That is the reason you need to fear the Son,
For when He returns the judging has begun,
Murder maybe quiets a witness of a crime,
But not stop your eternity from a hot time;
For you can not hide thoughts from Christ,
Every time those temptations have enticed;
You may carry your secrets to the grave,
But no trip to Heaven if Christ not forgave.
