God do You hear me cry?
Do You hear me crying?
Do You hear me cry?
Do You hear me?
Out on deep water
With nothing to hold onto
I’ve been attacked by storms of disillusions
Vessel of isms that was my security
Has now become a wreck
Waves of indifference
Forcefully they crush my hope
I see no point in struggling for survival
But in the distance
There is a light so bright
A glimpse of hope in sight
Lighthouse, shines
Salvation is at hand
It is the Saviour my light
His name is Jesus Christ
It is the Saviour it is the light
It is the Son of God
There is a lighthouse
That shines to guide my way
So I may find the harbour of salvation
The Son of God is
Reaching out His hands to me
Saved by the Trinity

42 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea. 43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. 47 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 where ‘the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.’”
–Mark 9:42-48 (NIV)–
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
–Revelation 14:10-11 (KJV)–

They shall be driven away into everlasting destruction,
where they shall feel the wrath of God without end.
