THE LINE

I heard a Missionary preach last Sunday about "THE LINE"!
His heart was "greatly burdened" about it and he inspired me to write this rhyme!

"Today and every day world wide 154,000 people will die!"
That figure should cause all true Christians to weep and cry!

154,000 people would form a single line for a 175 mile span!
That's everyone lying down head to toe every woman and man!

It would take 2.91 hours driving 60 mph to overtake and pass "THE LINE"!
154,000 souls about to breathe for their final and very last time!

If you are not in " THE LINE" today you will be tomorrow or soon!
We all have an "Appointment" with death who always arrives at a time "inopportune"!

How many of our relatives or friends will be in " THE LINE" tomorrow?
Think about how it will cause us to suffer with much pain and sorrow!

How many souls in "THE LINE" are saved and Born Again?
How many souls in "THE LINE" are still lost and slaves to Sin?

How many lost souls have our actions/works led to God and salvation?
How many lost souls have our "inactions" sent to eternal damnation?

"THE LINE", Just what does it mean to you?
"Oh Lord, please give me that Missionary's burden too!"
