POEMS
ABOUT HEAVEN
HOW
CAN I GET TO HEAVEN?
Can I get to Heav’n
with wealth of this Earth?
Can I buy my way, into that bliss and mirth?
Jesus plainly tells us just how it will be,
“No
man cometh to the Father, but by me.”
Can I get to Heav’n
by my highly known fame?
Can my good repute excite God with my name?
God’s Word clearly tells us just how
it will be,
“For
there is no respect of persons with me.”
Can I get to Heav’n
by ruling and power?
Can my strength and ability make God cower?
Jesus plainly tells us just how it will be,
“Ye
shall die in your sins, if you reject me.”
Can I get to Heav’n
with knowledge and wisdom?
Can my years of learning make Heav’n
bid me “Come”?
God’s Word clearly tells us just how
it will be,
God chose foolish, weak things, for eternity.
Can I get to Heav’n
by beauty of my face?
Can outward appearance bring His saving grace?
Jesus plainly tells us just how it will be,
“Belief
in me, will bring life eternally.”
Can I get to Heav’n
thru’ good friends and good deeds?
Can Heav’n be attained by baptism or
creeds?
God’s Word clearly tells us just how
it will be,
We’re saved by grace, not works, lest
boasters become we.
Jesus plainly tells us just
how it will be,
Not all who call Him “Lord”, shall
the gates of Heav’n see.
You must believe, and trust Him; to hear that
bell,
Unbelievers are condemned, end up in Hell.

HEAVEN
VERSES HELL
Heaven and Hell are REAL;
they do exist,
Heaven for those who Christ do not resist.
Hell was made for the devil and his angels,
But if you follow him, there you’ll
dwell.
Most folk don’t think
about Hell deep below,
They don’t think that there they will
ever go.
I ask that you think about it today,
Just believe God, and you won’t go that
way.
What’s the difference
‘tween Heav’n and Hell?
In God’s Word, He very plainly does
tell.
In Heav’n living water; in Hell constant
thirst,
The ‘Light’ of Christ, verses
total darkness!
In Heav’n no more pain;
in Hell agony,
Friendship in Heav’n, verses Hell’s
enemies.
Love and joy of Heav’n, verses sadness
and hate,
Twelve gates in Heav’n, verses Hell’s
NO escape.
Comfort and contentment of
God’s bright Heav’n,
No rest, and resentment, what in Hell is giv’n.
Blessings and peace verses judgment and anger,
Constant fellowship, verses no one to care.
Blue skies and sweet fragrance
of Heav’n so high,
Blackness and sulfur stench in Hell awry.
Green grass and flowers, verses dark deep
pits,
No more tears in Heav’n; in Hell, screams
won’t quit!
O’ dear friend, as you
read these brutal words,
Please accept Christ; don’t reject or
discard!
Only Christ can save you from deep dark Hell,
Only Christ gives Heav’n’s key,
where you could dwell.

ONLY
TWO ROADS
Many are the roads in the
world today,
They lead to many places; in all ways.
Many destinations; our choice to make,
We will arrive, if the right road we take.
Eternity has just two special
roads,
One narrow and strait; the other, so broad.
Just two destinations to eternity,
Heav’n and Hell; which will be your
destiny?
The choice is yours, only
you can decide,
Heaven or Hell; just where will you abide?
Your soul is eternal; it lives alway,
Which of these two roads are you on today?
God is so patient; He does
love you so,
He does not want any, to Hell to go.
He is so righteous, so just and so true,
You must BELIEVE Him, or He won’t rescue.
Christ says: “Enter
ye in at the strait gate,”
Stay on that narrow road, to Heav’n
so great.
If you do choose that road, so smooth and
broad,
You’ll end up in Hell, and never see
God.
Salvation is easy, God made
it so,
BELIEVE Him in faith, and to Heav’n
you’ll go!
But, if you reject His Plan, His own Son,
You’re already condemned; Hell you’ve
won.

PREPARATIONS
When you plan a trip, to go
away,
Do you prepare for that special day?
If you’re like most, you plan well ahead,
With preparations; so there’s no dread.
Most people never prepare
or plan,
For the most important trip of man.
Most live as if they won’t ever die,
Death is certain, don’t try to deny.
When your day comes; just
where will you go?
Your soul lives for e’er, you’d
better know!
Just two destinations; Heav’n or Hell,
You’re headed for one, for e’er
to dwell.
Have you made preparations
for that day?
When you will leave this Earth, and go away.
You will leave, there is no doubt at all,
When your time is up, our God will call.
Hell is the place folks don’t
want to hear,
But it is there, and a place to fear!
You don’t want to go Hell below,
Instead, our Saviour, you need to know!
Only Christ can take you to
Heav’n’s land,
You must prepare, and be well planned.
Your most important trip is soon to come,
Just WHERE will be your eternal home?

CITY
OF GOLD
One day I’ll walk on
those streets of gold,
For I am His child, and in His fold.
I’ll go to that golden city so high,
And be so joyous, ne’er more to cry.
Christ has gone on to prepare
a place,
Someday soon, I’ll see His glorious
Face.
He will come again for me and you,
For all who believe, and to Him are true.
That city of beauty, made
of pure gold,
And the glory of God we’ll behold.
No need for the sun or moon to shine,
The glory of God will lighten so fine.
That holy city, New Jerusalem,
Will come down from God, as a fine gem.
He shall be our God, holy and true,
We shall be His people, me and you.
If you know our Saviour, Christ
the Lord,
You’ll see this city on your own accord.
You too will walk on those streets of gold,
Heir to His Kingdom of beauty untold!

Scripture verses for
above poem:
(Rev.21:1-27; 22:1-5; Jn.3:15-18)
IF
CHRIST IS YOUR SAVIOUR
If Christ is your Saviour,
God blesses you
In so many ways, and in all that you do.
You are indeed a child of God, so great,
Did you e’er wonder? “Just how
do I rate?”
‘Tis not works you do,
that make you His child,
Only the ‘Works of Christ’ are
undefiled.
We must go thru’ Christ, to get to God,
This means ev’ry nation, the world abroad.
If Christ is your Saviour,
peace is with you,
Peace, down in your heart; peace, warm and
true.
We have perfect peace, whose mind is on Him,
Worldly peace can’t compare; it’s
false and dim.
If Christ is your Saviour,
please take heed,
God did promise, to supply all our needs.
Food, drink, clothing and shelter He will
give,
If you are His child, as long as you live.
If Christ is your Saviour,
you’ll not see Hell,
Instead, with God, in Heav’n you’ll
dwell.
Eternal life is promised, thru’ God’s
Son,
Acceptance of Christ, means Heav’n,
you’ve won!

I’M
HEAVEN BOUND
I’m Heaven bound, as
I journey thru’
This world of preparation; “How ‘bout
you?”
On this Earth, we’ll decide where we’ll
go,
To Heaven with God, or Hell below.
Our soul lives forever; this
I know,
God patiently tries, Heaven to show.
He’ll give ev’ry chance, your
soul to save,
But ‘twill be no more chance after the
grave.
It’s your decision,
one you must make,
I pray that you, won’t make a mistake.
There are only two places you can go,
To glorious Heaven, or Hell below.
Just one ‘Key’
can open Heaven’s gate,
And that is Christ Jesus; don’t hesitate!
Believe God, accept Jesus this day,
And you’ll be Heaven bound; all the
way.
Only Christ can save your
soul from Hell,
You certainly don’t want there to dwell.
Christ is standing outside your heart’s
door,
Open unto Him; and Heaven’s in store.

CHRIST
IS THE ‘BRIDGE’
Christ is the ‘Bridge’
from Earth, to Heav’n,
The only One the Father hath giv’n.
If we accept God’s One True Way,
We’ll be citizens of Heav’n alway.
Christ is the ‘Bridge’
from death to life,
The only One that can relieve strife.
We as humans follow sin’s path,
Only Jesus relieves God’s wrath.
Christ is the ‘Bridge’
o’er troubled seas,
The only One that makes Satan flee.
Trials and tribulations will be near,
But with our Saviour, we’ve nought to
fear.
Christ is the ‘Bridge’
from wrong to right,
Always there to help, in our fight.
We must love and trust; and obey,
For with our God, there’s no other way!
Christ is the ‘Bridge’
that leads from Hell,
Trust Him, and there, you’ll never dwell!
Just walk in Him, thru’ Heav’n’s
door,
All Heaven’s wonder is in store.

GOD
TELLS IT STRAIGHT
Christ is the ‘Door’
to Heaven’s domain,
Without Him, in Hell, you will remain.
Only thru’ Christ will you be saved,
Trying without Him; you’re depraved.
Christ is the ‘Way’,
the ‘Truth’, and the ‘Life’,
Without Him, evil and sin are rife.
No man can get to God on his own,
Tho’ most follow paths, Satan has shown.
Christ is the only ‘Name’
giv’n to men,
Only He can save, from way back when!
No other ‘name’ under Heaven is
giv’n,
You must go thru’ Christ, to reach Heaven!
Christ is the only ‘One’
to give grace,
Without Him, we’ll NEVER see God’s
Face.
Only the grace of our mighty God,
Can save us from Hell, as Earth we trod.
Christ can justify us, in
God’s eyes,
Thru’ the Blood He shed, when they did
crucify.
ONLY thru’ His precious Blood alone,
Can our great sin e’er be atoned.
Do you know Christ as Saviour
today?
God’s Word plainly tells; ther’s
NO other way!
God won’t hide things; but tells us
so straight,
You must go thru’ Christ, to reach Heav’n’s
gate!

WITHOUT
CHRIST
Without Jesus, you have no
hope,
Friend, you’re at the end of your rope!
Eternal life is far away,
And Satan’s call you do obey.
Without Christ, you do not
have God,
No matter who, the world abroad.
The pits of Hell beckon to you,
As on this Earth you do pass thru’.
Without Jesus, you go with
the world,
Accepting temptations Satan hurls.
Chasing evil passions and thoughts,
Not doing the things that you ought.
Without Christ, you’re
under God’s curse,
In all your sin, you are emersed.
Condemned, because of your sin,
Hell is open wide, to accept you in.
Without Jesus, you’re
God’s enemy,
A slave to Satan, never free.
God’s final wrath will fall on you,
Hell’s the verdict; God won’t
rescue!
You can have Jesus, this very
day!
Just BELIEVE all God has to say.
Jesus can save your soul from Hell,
And in Heav’n with Him, you will dwell!

Always doing His will, ne’er to cease.
Loving and trusting my God always,
Gonna go to my ‘Home on High’

Serving my great Lord makes

No need to urge; I do it freely.
My Lord is my Friend, not enemy,

Spreading the wondrous news from His Word.

MOST
The thought of death causes
most to fear,
For most, do not want, God’s Word to
hear.
Most know deep down, there’s more than
this life,
But they just keep on, with fear and strife.
Each has within, an eternal
soul,
Most are headed for the gates of Sheol.
Most are traveling the road to Hell,
And most will never in Heaven dwell.
There is a ‘WAY’
you can reach Heaven,
Accept God’s Gift, He’s freely
given.
Believe on Jesus, God’s only Son,
And eternal life for you, has begun.
God did not make Hell for
human kind,
But for most, the gates of Hell they’ll
find.
Just a few, travel the narrow road,
That leads to Heaven’s blissful abode.
Does the thought of death,
cause you to fear?
The love of Christ, can make it disappear.
Perfect love gives a way out of Hell,
Accept it, and, in Heaven you’ll dwell.

A
SPECIAL DREAM!
I had a very special dream
last night,
I saw things of beauty, so peaceful and bright!
Lord, I saw angels, carry me to you,
This special dream seemed so real and true!
As I walked down that pure
golden road,
I saw from where pure living water flow’d!
The crystal river came from God’s own
Throne,
This to me, in my special dream was shown!
I saw an amazing tree of life
too,
That gives food and healing, for me and you!
As on this wonderful tree, I did look,
I was grateful my name was in His book!
In my special dream, I saw
you Lord,
And you were glorious, as told in your Word!
Absent from my body; present with you,
My eternal Home; such a precious view!
Dear Lord, in my dream, I
fell at your Feet!
‘Twas such a privilege, when you I did
meet!
I’d known you before, but now --- Face
to face!
Forever with you, because of your grace!
Heav’n will be better
than my special dream,
Lord, your precious worth, I highly esteem!
For just you dear Jesus, hold Heaven’s
key,
For direct passage there, for eternity!

I
LOOK TO THE DAY
I look to the day, when sin
is no more,
When I’ll be living on Heav’n’s
blissful shore.
ALL evil things will gone and done,
I’ll be in the Presence of God’s
own Son!
I look to the day, when pain’s
gone away,
When I live in Heav’n’s glorious
display.
No sorrow, no crying, no more grief,
For Heav’n gives only rest and relief.
I look to the day, I’m
carried Home,
And never more from my God to roam.
My angels will carry me far above,
To God’s never ending, blissful love!

BETTER
DAYS AHEAD
“Better days ahead”
some people say,
When troubles come, to shatter their day.
Yet they never go to God in pray’r,
They don’t seem to think, He’s
even there.
Can you truly see better days
ahead?
Or do you face each new morn’ with dread?
Some much needed help could come to you,
But you must trust Jesus, ever so true.
Better days ahead, you can
surely see,
But with God the Father, you must agree.
You must not reject God’s precious Son,
But by accepting Him, God’s grace you’ve
won!
Better days can be ahead for
you,
With joy and peace, and contentment too.
Christ promises our needs to supply,
But Him, you must not ever deny!
Jesus can give great consolation,
And better still, eternal salvation.
Ev’ry one of your sins, He can erase,
By the pow’r of His amazing grace.
Christ Jesus can give you
better days,
But you must be true to Him, and obey.
Better days are ahead for you and me,
Life in Heaven, for eternity!
