Between us there’s a great divide
Time and distance cannot conquer
‘Twas told obey and then abide
Too late to say you’re sorry, yonder
With pain and torment, can’t forget
One lies in darkness and reminded
Decisions founded on regret
That pride is evil, often blinded
One often mourns, what one can’t see
The wretched turns that come and go
No recompense despite the pleas
One life is given, one life to show
The line is drawn, which side you’re on
The simple measure of your worth
The end awaits and then belongs
The just reward, the sobering truth
The great divide which separates us
From endless suffering and holy bliss
Which life you lead defines the trust
In God or in the set abyss
Free will ensnares, the choice is ours
But One, all guilty, all are shamed
The countdown to the final hours
No one stand with, no one to blame
Before a holy God, we stand
To justify the paths we’ve taken
The law defiled, justice commands
Eternal punishment, the token
But Who would speak before the throne
Who bore our sins, His righteousness
Who longs to be with us at home
Relationship dawns blessedness
The universe will pass away
And all creation turn to dust
The word of God will never sway
He wants our love, He wants our trust
The answer lies in whom you choose
On pride you stand or Jesus Christ
Would you risk your soul to lose
Or faith in Him who sacrificed
