Nieces & Friends
As I lay before you, knowing nothing thats
Being said or nothing thats being done
Ive made my peace, have you made yours?
All those countless hours 1 had nothing to do
But concentrate on all the things
God has brought me through
How He kept me, guided me and
Protected me, even in my sin.
Ive made my peace, have you made yours?
I could have been lost sinking deep in sin.
But the Lord, He forgave me and I will live again.
For when thatfirst trumpet sounds.
Ill be going with my King.
Ive made my peace, have you made yours?
If you have not done so, its a sin and a shame
For no one knows when God will call out their name
To give an account for all the things we have done.
Will you be ready if Jesus should come?
You better get in a hurry for no one He will wait.
Repent of your sins before its too late.
For God loves you no matter what.
Ive made my peace, have you made yours?
The answer should be yes!
