"And there's the gulf impassable
'Tis placed 'twixt thee and me,
I cannot call thee out from thence,
Nor send him down to thee."

The rich man said, "I therefore pray
That thou wouldst Lazarus send,
Unto my brethren five at home,
To warn them of my end."

He answer'd, "No, they have the Law
And Prophets often read;
If they're not warn'd, they'll not believe
Though one rose from the dead."

How sad it is to live in sin,
And spend our fleeting breath
In vanity, so when God calls
We're unprepared for death.

Let us love God with all our hearts,
And lean upon his Word,
That after death we all may reign
Forever with the Lord.
