When You Stand Before the Lord

Look into the Savior's face,
Stand on holy ground,
Kneel before the King of Kings,
Pray your name is found.

The time is nigh, it's drawing near,
Tis' closer than you think.
Eternal life with God above;
You'll either rise or sink.

God doesn't care 'bout bank accounts
Or gems of pearl and jade,
Your style of home, the car you drive or
The money that you've made.

He's not concerned with age or height,
The color of your hair,
The number of the friends you have,
The brand of clothes you wear.

He'll ask you if you spoke His name,
Thought of Him each day,
Knew He gave His life for you,
Took the time to pray.

He'll know about your closest friends,
About the books you’ve read.
The kind of thoughts that filled your mind
And on what your spirit fed.

He’ll take a look inside your soul.
He’ll go beyond your pride.
Your sins will be as crimson red.
There's nothing you can hide.

For, once you've stood before the Lord
He'll see through every crack.
And if you were to die today
There is no turning back.

You'll gaze into His crystal eyes.
He knows the things you did.
There's nothing you can keep from Him.
Your secret thoughts aren't hid.

So before you meet the Lord,
You better make it right.
Start by getting on your knees.
Kneel down to Him tonight.

Get rid of all your worldly ways.
They'll just lead you astray.
Find time to walk with Jesus,
The Truth, the Light, the Way.

I'm telling you, it's not too late.
God's waiting there with love
To add you to His Book of Life
In Heaven up above.

When your life on earth is over
He'll take one final look.
When the roll is called up yonder
Will your name be in "The Book?"
