The Light
Jesus is the light, He you cannot fight.
Listen to your Lord, for Hell, you can’t afford.
(Levi age 6 with help from dad)

Grace and Mercy
If God gave us justice, we’d all end up in Hell. 
So turn to Christ, our Lord and Savior, where grace and mercy dwell. 

Life
Eternal life is a gift. No payment you can make.
Do not try to earn God’s favor, or eternal death you’ll take.

Rescue
You say you’ve never murdered. You’ve never robbed a store. 
You’re “not so bad” to get God’s wrath, but it’s knocking at your door.
It’s knocking if you’ve lied and if you’ve lusted too.
Only Christ’s sacrifice can ever rescue you.

All Roads
It’s true what heathens say, “to God leads every path.”
But only one leads to His goodness, all others to His wrath.

The Cup
When the perfect life of Christ expired on a tree, 
The sinless, spotless lamb of God, drank the cup for me.
What was in the cup, that Jesus fully drank?
It was the bitter wrath of God, so He, I daily thank.”

Victory
I’m here to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, God’s Son.
He bled and died that we might live; the victory HE won.

Abide
Do not try to run from God. Do not try to hide.
Go to Him through Jesus Christ and forever you’ll abide.

Don’t Hide
There’s nowhere to hide,
So you might just abide. 
(Levi age 6)

Hatred
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, so many hate that name.
But only He can save your soul. This is not a game.

Flee to Christ
Pack your Bags, abandon your home in Adam,
Christ gives you robes instead of rags.

City of Christ
Flee to the ‘City of Christ,’ it’s borders are open to you.
Abandon your home in Adam, come rest in Christ the New.
