Death Revealed Truths
by Michael Doyle

We don't get more real than with death.
The feeling of this stays until the last breath.
If you're not prepared to succumb and die,
We need to focus on the how and the why.

If you're not ready for the day that you die,
Then you're really not all that ready to live.
Let's turn our focus on that" how and why"
Let's not choke on the reply of what life has to give.

There is a huge gulf between us and Him.
There will be no greater than the them
Who have come before and where we will go
What will separate the flame from the shadow?

Life is a story of contrasts in what we see,
And all that comes and goes requires humility.
Contrasts in life and death - down to the last breath.
We find differences in life, even in how we face death.

No words or fixing can change our destiny.
From this, we learn the value of how we journey.
Doing right to others and worshipping the Lord,
It seems this then is the dividing sword.

To be at the bosom of Abraham is to have all,
Regardless of fame, shame, or whatever we might recall.
Heaven is where God waits for us makes it all right.
We know this as a walk from darkness into the light. 

The glories of Heaven and the acquisition of Hell -
How we live and believe is what compels.
The outcome is down to what we do
To live by what is good and to live for what's true.

Whether we earn Heaven or Hell is a matter of equity.
It is our decisions that sets us at our liberty
That defines what our final outcome will be.
We are our own deliverers of our final destiny.

A fact is a fact, and Hell has no relief
For the causes of separation that bring grief.
Hell is a place of tormenting misery.
Hell-fires have burned throughout all history. 

Memories are not forgotten and are known for their sting.
If you end up in Hell, you'll have what you bring
And you will remember your every opportunity
That you had to avoid suffering this self-inflicted injury.

In the moment of death comes the chasm of separation.
You must in this life address your final representation.
The cross of Calvary spread sanctuary from our misery.
This is steadfast in our theology.

It takes a lot of work to go to Hell.
If you have, maybe it's just as well,
And once you've managed to get yourself there,
Your chance at redemption is over, I fear.

It's been this way since Lucifer was falling,
That a person in need of saving finds Jesus calling.
We hold this hope based on the Bible's authority -
That our choices form our path to our destiny.
