The Sinner's Choice
The Father's love knows no restraint it knows no bounds at all
It even loves the ones who will not answer to its call
But though His love is strong and deep His patience soon will end
For love will trump His patience when He puts an end to sin
You see it's love that even brings the fire from above
That wipes away the sinner who refused His endless love
For hell to them would be to live where no one sinned at all
As they've become attached to all the symptoms of the fall
That will not be in heaven will not be a part of men
Who live throughout eternity where there will be no sin
No self serving indulgences no lying or deceit
Just love and joy in sharing Christ with everyone you meet
And no one will be angry when they fail to get their way
There'll never be a harsh tone in the things that people say
Just tones of cheer and happiness where people never cry
Where nothing ever fades away for nothing there will die
But there will be one heartache that will last eternally
Within the heart of Him Who died to buy eternity
And within God the Father and the Spirit's heart as well
An aching that we cannot know no tongue could ever tell
For when Christ died upon the cross to purchase fallen men
It wasn't just for those who chose to turn away from sin
But for all of humanity that pure love they might see
And be redeemed and born again free from iniquity
As treasures to the Farmer that He found out in the field
As broken vessels in which God the Potter had revealed
The power of His mighty grace to make them new again
To make them perfect with no taint of self-destroying sin
For this is where the rub comes that's been so misunderstood
It's not that God has lost His love for those who are not good
But that they cling to sin alone when His last call is heard
And choose the lies God will destroy and not His Living Word
For punishment will be their choice for all the things they've done
When God was holding out His hand through Christ the only Son
And when they could have known His love they chose to turn their face
And gave their back to all the joy that comes with Godly grace
