Lyrics:                                                         

When Jesus conquered death

 it made our life on earth worth livin’.

He’d shown us how repentance would

 insure we’d be forgiven.

Though miracles did not convince

 people that were shown.

The proof was right in front of them.

 Their disbelief they owned.

      Every time the sun has set 

     the time I spend on earth

     is closer to the moment 

     of my own eternal birth.

     I’m not afraid of what’s to come.

     I’ll welcome it, for sure.

     I’m going to God’s place which

     means a life forever pure.

If you ask me why it is

  I think that this is so

I’ll gladly give you references

Which show where I will go.

The Bible speaks to this, of course,

 you may be circumspect.

The evidence is on my side.

My soul I will protect.

Yes, it”s your decision 

 so you’d better think it through.

If you want a life eternal,

 don’t deny my faith is true.

There’s really nothing forcing you.

 But please make the right choice.

Take my advice and listen close.

 You’re bound to hear God’s voice.

     Every time the sun has set 

     the time I spend on earth

     is closer to the moment 

     of my own eternal birth.

     I’m not afraid of what’s to come.

     I’ll welcome it, for sure.

     God’s grace has saved my soul which

     means an afterlife that’s pure.

It’s closing in, the time is short,

so take my hint and learn.

Accept his gift so you will then

 a spot in Heaven earn.

‘Cuz every day that you delay

you’re risking losing out

on God’s gift of his forgiveness.

That’s what Heaven’s all about.

     Every time the sun has set 

     the time I spend on earth

     is closer to the moment 

     of my own eternal birth.

     Allelujah, Allelujah!

     Yes, my words are meant for you.

     I know where I am goin’,

     and I hope you’re comin’, too.
