Hell Bound Train
Hell Bound Train
The Train You Don't Want To Board
The Train was crammed from the front
to the rear, the devil himself was the
chief engineer. The plead for life I
can almost hear on the Hell Bound Train.
There were men and women among the crowd,
the high, the low, the meek and the proud.
There were beautiful women and the handsomest
men, who had gambled their souls for the
price of sin.
There were rich men most wealthy among the
crew, deacons, Church members, and ministers
too. There were Elders on crutches and others
on canes, all trapped within the Hell Bound Train.
There were men of all races, men of great names,
men of sound knowledge and wisdom and fame. There
were men of all creeds, the young and the old, who
had gambled with satan for the price of their soul.
They were all in the aisles and packed in their
seats, and tied with chains both hands and feet.
The windows and all of the doors were chained,
there, was no escape from the Hell Bound Train.
Satan took his seat and the journey began, to
Eternal Damnation, 'the result of sin'.
Now one of the prisoners among the crowd
gathered the strength to say, "satan, what
have we done that we deserve to be treated
in such a way" ? "What have we done," cried
the others, "that we deserve to be punished
by you?"
"Well, I'll Tell You," said the devil,"
you did what I told you to. You've lived the
way I told you to live and said all I told you
to say; and unfortunately that is why your
souls are lost today"!
"But satan, said one, you said I was too young
to give up the pleasures of life, you said I
should wait and when I got old I could give my
heart to Christ. You told me, said the wealthy,
that I was too rich and I didn't need Gods' grace,
you said if I gave him all that I had then my
wealth would go to waste".
"You told me," said the haughty, " that I was
too proud to humble myself to Christ. You said
I could do without him and I didn't need him in
my life." "I lied said the devil and you were all
fools to heed my words and obey. And indeed I've
been most clever to have blinded you in this way."
"Why friends, you've been faithful; you endured
to the end; you've labored hard in the ways of sin.
You hardened your heart and closed your eyes and
shut your ears to the Word of God!
"You've worshipped me, is this not true? So as
faithful servants, I must pay you. You've finished
your course, so I'll carry you through; after all
dear servant, that's the least I can do." And then
he laughed an awful laugh that made his body shake
and threw his head back on his shoulders as tears
of joy streamed down his face.
"But satan you told us much too plain that this
would never be!" "Then you were fools",
the devil sneered, 'to put your trust in me!"
"And so I have deceived you and brought you this
fate! At last you're waking up, but now
it's too late !"
For when Christ desired to save your soul you
turned your back on him. And because you did,
'you cannot live,' for death is the price of sin,"
But satan laughed and simply said,
"Merciless Am I".
You had your chance, you made your choice;
you chose to live for me! Now give me one
good reason why I should set you free. But
they cried still all the louder, "Please have
mercy on our souls!" But satan turned to answer
and his voice was hard and cold. Why should my
heart be softened and surrender to your cries,
When the bible told you plainly, that the soul
that sins shall surely die!
And then he laughed an awful laugh that made
his body shake and threw his head back on his
shoulders as tears of joy streamed down his face.
But they cried, "; just give us time, to fix our
hearts and to change our minds." But he answered,
"; when you were called to bow, you wouldn't take
heed, it's too late now!
He laughed and laughed till his body shook;
he laughed with all of his might; for they
struggled in vain to loose their chains, but
satan had bound them tight! They cried and they
pleaded; they screamed and they moaned; they
begged and they panicked, they shrieked and
the groaned. There was never a more heartbreaking
sound than the plead from the souls on the
Train hell bound. And I can see the devil grin
when he laughs and say, "because you sinned
you shall surely today!
Now the train moved on at an awful pace, as hot
winds scorched their hands and face; when out
of the distance arose such a yell,
"OH LOOK!";
cried the devil, we're now nearing HELL.
The choices you make is all up to you
where your bound Heaven Or Hell.
