GOOD WORKS IS NOT ENOUGH

As I was sitting quietly with my pen and my pad

I couldn't really figure out why I was feeling bad

Then all at once it hit me the Lord opened my mind

And I saw in the spirit some people being kind

To those who were less fortunate and they looked sincere

It seems they always do it at a certain time of year

Then the Lord let me go deeper to see things through His eyes

Soon I began to understand one reason that he cries

I said OK Lord what's going on I know your pain is real

I know you are hurting because I too can feel

A sadness in my spirit over those who think it's true

That their good deeds will guarantee they will live with you

But they refuse to listen to the words you say

They will be disappointed on that final day

When they stand before you and expect to enter in

Your heart will be breaking because they're lost in sin

Lord show me what I can do to help your kingdom grow

Give me your words of truth to speak so everyone will know

Their random acts of kindness as nice as they have been

Will not get them into heaven but they must be born again
