An Awful Truth

Eternal damnation
estrangement from love
the power of our choice
the pit of free will

May we step back
away from the abyss
turn to the Lord
and live in his bliss

The choice is ours
because of his love
offering life
that we may truly live

But the price is ours
when we make our choice
the price already paid by Christ
or the price of our life
