The Judgement Day
In that great day,
People, in that great day,
God's a-going to rain down fire.
God's a-going to sit in the middle of the air
To judge the quick and the dead.
---------
Early one of these mornings,
God’s a-going to call for Gabriel,
That tall, bright angel, Gabriel;
And God’s a-going to say to him: Gabriel,
Blow your silver trumpet,
And wake the living nations.
---------
And Gabriel’s going to ask Him: Lord,
How loud must I blow it?
And God’s a-going to tell him: Gabriel,
Blow it calm and easy.
---------
Then putting one foot on the mountain top,
And the other in the middle of the sea,
Gabriel’s going to stand and blow his horn,
And wake the living nations.
---------
Oh-o-oh, sinner,
Where will you stand,
In that great day when God’s a-going to rain down fire?
Oh, you gambling man – where will you stand?
You whore-mongering man – where will you stand?
Liars and backsliders – where will you stand,
In that great day when God’s a-going to rain down fire?
---------
And God will divide the sheep from the goats,
The one on the right, the other on the left.
And to them on the right God’s a-going to say:
Enter into my kingdom.
And those who’ve come through great tribulation,
And washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb,
They will enter in –
Clothed in spotless white,
---------
And to them on the left God’s a-going to say:
Depart from me into everlasting darkness,
Down into the bottomless pit.
And the wicked like lumps of lead will start to fall,
Headlong for seven days and nights they’ll fall,
Plumb into the big, black, red-hot mouth of hell,
---------
Too late, sinner! Too Late!
Good-bye, sinner! Good-bye!
In hell, sinner! In hell!
Beyond the reach of the love of God.
---------
And I hear a voice, crying, crying:
Time shall be no more!
Time shall be no more!
Time shall be no more!
And the sun will go out like a candle in the wind,
The moon will turn to dripping blood,
The stars will fall like cinders,
And the sea will burn like tar;
And the earth shall melt away and be dissolved,
And the sky will roll up like a scroll.
With the wave of his hand, God will blot out time,
And start the wheel of eternity.
---------
Sinner, oh. sinner,
Where will you stand
In that great day when God’s a- going to rain down fire?

How Can I Be Sure of Heaven?
1. All Have Sinned
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
2. The Penalty of Sin is Death & Hell
“For the wages of sin is death…” Romans 6:23
“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.” Revelations 20:14
3. Jesus Died to Pay for Our Sins
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
“…We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Hebrews 10:10
4. Jesus Invites You to be Saved Today; Call upon Him Now
Pray and accept Christ as your Saviour! Ask forgiveness from God through the blood of Christ which was shed on Calvary’s cross.
If you prayed from the heart, this is what God says,
“For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be
saved.” (Romans 10:13)
If you prayed and were saved, pause for a moment to thank Jesus Christ for saving you.
In that great day,
People, in that great day,
