You Chose the Fire

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
To what did you aspire
The day you chose the fire?
You chose when you said, "No"!

Did you not know you chose
To not believe He rose,
So none to hell would go?

You must believe you won't
Be with God if you don't
Receive forgiveness and

You let the Lord come in
To cleanse you of you sin.
Your soul is NOT your own!
