'So You Thing You'Re Going To Heaven? ' Poem by Linda Winchell

If God were to maybe ask you one day
If you felt you’re Heavenly bound.
What would your answer be?
So you think you’re a good person?
Is that what you’re wanting?
Our Father God to believe?

Ask yourself if you’ve ever stolen
Or if you’ve ever told a lie.
Ask yourself if you’ve ever lusted
Or ever given someone that, ” evil eye.”

Ask yourself if you’ve used God’s name in vane
And I think you’ll get the drift.
That you’re not going to make it to Heaven my friend
If you think just doing some good deeds
Is really accomplishing all of it.

If you’ve answered, ”Yes” to even one of these things
That you’re a, “liar, thief, adulterer, blasphemer”, or all the rest.
Then you’re not going to see those Pearly Gates my friend
Hell will be the best it gets!

But if you humbly ask God’s forgiveness
Something Jesus died on the cross to achieve.
Then you will see the Kingdom of God
When you’re spirit this Earth leaves.
