“A Dream I’ll Never Forget”

 

Last night I had a dream, God and I had a talk; He told me to get out of bed, we’re going for a walk.

I said God I’m tired, until morning can it wait; But He said I’m afraid not because tonight may decide your fate.

So reluctantly I agreed, then he took me by the hand; And without any further ado our journey began.

When we reached our destination I couldn’t believe my eyes; But my ears confirmed the scene when I heard the screams and cries.

There were men and women from every race, color, and creed. But this they all had in common, for mercy did they plead.

So I turned to look at God and there was sadness on His face; And it now became quite evident that hell was the name of this place.

He said I tried to warn them, but my word they wouldn’t obey; They chose the pleasures of sin, now this is the price they pay.

I said but God they’re begging for relief from this torment and abuse; However He simply replied I will hear no excuse.

Then He asked me if He’d made His point. I said yes God I understand; Without saying another word He let go of my hand.

Then suddenly I awoke, safe and sound in my bed; But I remembered all that I saw, and everything that was said.

So with you I share this dream, because it’s something I can’t conceal; The choice is yours to repent, but I warn you hell is real.

 

Hebrews Chapter 10 verses 26-31
