One Breath Away From Repentance

One breath away from repentance.
One step away from regret.
This moment defines you
Today and now on.
Choose carefully, my friend.
This chance too soon is gone.

"I'm sorry, Dear Lord.
Please forgive me today."
This is the choice you know you should make.
It won't be easy but you won't be alone.
He gave you His word
And He will never lead you wrong.

"One more time won't matter.
I'm sure I'll have lots of fun."
Then one time leads to another and another.
And you're deeper in sin and regret.
If only you'd chosen more wisely.
But you were not ready yet.

You go through life
Either in obedience or
Choosing to rebel.
Knowing that, either way,
Each choice you make
Helps or hurts someone every day.

Fast forward and it's time for your judgement.
It could be now or it could be in years.
Which way did you choose?
What will He say
When He surveys what you chose to do?

Did you ask His forgiveness,
Let His blood wash you clean
And then did you earn a 'well done'?
Or did you continue in sin
Thinking you knew what was best
And earn damnation instead of rest?

Did pride and selfishness cloud your vision?
Did His light finally shine through?
How dark does your life need to get
Before you see?
He's right there where He's always been
And He's wanting to forgive you.

He tries to get your attention.
With open eyes you can see,
His love and forgiveness is at every turn.
It will cost you nothing to be free.
He did it for you out of love.
With His life He paid for it all.

One breath away from repentance.
One step away from regret.
He stands there waiting to change your life,
Offering you abundance  now and forever.
With His whole life He loves and adores you.
With arms wide open He waits....for you.
