How many hearts you are breaking,
You cause to fall by the way?
God knows your record Is kept

Do YOU know you will be called

No one there can shield you,
You must answer all alone.

When you meet God face tOface?
Do you know the reward you get,
When you die without His grace.

From q mother aged and grey,

You cared not for their prayers,
