I Timothy 3:15
A Voice from Hell
Oscar C. Eliason
"Oh, why am I here in this place of unrest
When others have entered the land of the
blest?
God's way of salvation was preached unto men;
I heard it and heard it, again
and again.
Why did I not listen and turn from my sin
And open my heart and let Jesus
come in?
For vain earthly pleasures my soul did I sell--
The way I had chosen has brought
me to hell.
I wish I were dreaming, but ah, it is true.
The way to be saved I had heard
and I knew;
My time on the earth, oh, so quickly fled by,
How little I thought of the
day I would die.
When God's Holy Spirit was pleading with me,
I hardened my heart and
I turned from His plea.
The way that was sinful, the path that was wide,
I chose and
I walked till the time that I died.
Eternally now, I must dwell in this place.
If I
from my memory could but erase
The thoughts of my past which are haunting me so.
Oh,
where is a refuge to which I can go?
This torture and suff'ring, how long can I stand?
For
Satan and devils this only was planned.
God's refuge is Jesus, the One that I spurned;
He
offered salvation, but from Him I turned.
My brothers and sisters I wish I could warn.
Far
better 'twould be if I had not been born.
The price I must pay is too horrid to tell--
My
life without God led directly to Hell."
Oh, soul without Christ, will these words
be your cry?
God's Word so declares it that all men must die.
From hell and its terrors,
Oh, flee while you may!
So, come to the Saviour; He'll save you today!
