Song Description

How tragic to begin on the way of salvation through Jesus Christ only to later abandon the Way, go back to sin, and lose out on the reward..."He who endures TO THE END will be saved"-Jesus

Lyrics

JUST A GLIMPSE AWAY Neil Silverman, Ed King, Dave McIntosh

Heaven was just a glimpse away
You were almost at the gate
How could you turn back to
Those unchristian ways?
You turned your back on Me
For more important things
The day came suddenly
You?ve lost eternity

Forevermore My joy rewards the wise
No tears are in their eyes
But yours will never dry
You?ve let the chance slip by
The faithful now are safe at home
Rejoicing ?round the throne
You?re weeping all alone
You?re reaping what you?ve sown

And I saw the dead, small and great
And a book was read, on the judgement day
Those who were not found written down
Were cast into a fiery lake...

Time after time I called you out from your sin
All the things you had your pleasure in
Now you can see, the record?s clear
At every stage, my voice you shunned to hear
Though you mourn and weep, there is no retreat
Now we must part eternally

In the city of the Son
The feast has just begun
But you can?t hear their song
You waited just too long
There God shall dwell with men
And they will reign with Him
But those who lived in sin
Will never enter in

And I saw the saved, the bride of Christ
On that wedding day, adorned in white
Those who?ve overcome, their battles won
Now take the prize, eternal life
