“A Blind Eye to God, Open Ears to the World” (#34)

Here I suffer, a soul condemned to Hell for eternity-and you ask “How?”
‘Tis because I ignored the God who kept saying “You need to accept me now.”
I never accepted the Savior-the eyes of my heart were blind.
But my ears were open to everything the world had to say-its words seemed kind.
I followed everything I was told about how to be popular, good-looking, and great.
And yet, when I could do no more to appease the world, it abandoned me, and left me for fish bait.
Even then, I turned not to God, but tried to console myself. I said that I was just like a toy placed up on a shelf.
When I passed from the world, I discovered the truth too late-I met the God I rejected face-to-face.
As He said, “Depart, I never knew you.” I found that in Heaven I had no place.
So I beg you, do not make the same mistake as I-
Accept the Lord today, and be received by Him high above the sky.
