1. Satanic Seduction
Now the LORD GOD planted Eden
Where He put the man He had formed
He let grow all kinds of trees there
Splendid trees and good for food
Satanic seduction
Satanic seduction
In the middle of the garden
He planted the tree
Of the knowledge of good and evil
And He commanded the man
'Don't eat from that tree
Or you will surely die'
But the serpent persuaded the woman
To eat from the forbidden tree
'When you eat of it your eyes will be opened
And you will be like GOD
Knowing good and evil
And you will not surely die'
As the woman looked at the fruit
She thought it would be good for food
So she took some and ate it
And also her husband
Then their eyes where opened
And they realised that they were naked
And sin was born
'Who told you that you are naked?'
The LORD asked
'Have you eaten from the tree
From which I told you not to eat?'
'Cursed is the ground because of you
Through painful toil you will eat of it
All the days of your life
It will produce thorns and thistles for you
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food
Until you return to the ground
Since from it you were taken
For dust you are
And to dust you will return'
Satanic seduction
Satanic seduction
Satanic seduction
Satanic seduction
Genesis 2+3
2. Separation
Sin separates from GOD
JESUS separates from sin
3. The Narrow Gate
The way you walk is broad and plain
From numerous fellows you let yourself float
But with every step you approach eternal pain
Cause hell waits at the end of the road
You despise the orders of the LORD
You want to enjoy your life
And ignore His Holy Word
Turn from your evil ways
Stay righteous in all pain and hate
Leave the road that leads to hell
And enter through the narrow gate
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial
Because when he has stood the test
He will receive the crown of life
That GOD has promised to those who love Him
Turn from your evil ways
Stay righteous in all pain and hate
Leave the road that leads to hell
And enter through the narrow gate
Wide is the gate and broad is the road
That leads to destruction
And many enter through it
But small is the gate and narrow the road
That leads to life
And only a few find it
Leave the road that leads to hell
And enter through the narrow gate
JESUS wants to be your saviour
Do not let Him wait
Do not let Him wait
Zechariah 1,4
Matthew 7,13-14
James 1,12
4. Nuclear Warfare
A vision in the sky
Casting a shade on mother earth
They know what it will bring
But no belief - denying the truth
Fleeing creatures everywhere
Each possessed by tremendous fear
Crying like tormented souls
Wishing that they were never born
A thud impact
A raising mushroom cloud
High pressure is filling the air
A flash of fire is dragging life away
Nuclear warfare
Nuclear warfare
Sitting here in the cold
Watching the drizzling snow
Benumbed perceiving the fallout
Looking at the wasteland
You cannot see it
You cannot feel it
You cannot touch it
But it could let you die
You watch yourself and scare
The hair is gone
The skin is black
The radiation is a torment
A torture
Nuclear warfare
Nuclear warfare
5. Belated Perception
My life on earth is over
I died a sudden death
I didn't care about JESUS
I am sorry to confess
I don't know where I am
It could be hell I guess
Should this be the terminal
For all the deceased godless?
A grieving darkness surrounds me
Fearsome screams get through my core
Tearing the intolerable silence
Satan I have to adore
I want to loose my sense
I want to die
But I am dead
JESUS is no lie
His existence is reality
And who believes in Him
Is blessed in all eternity
Now I know that
Now it is too late
Now that I am dead
I know there is no fate
But an almighty GOD who has all under control
If I only had a second chance
I would live a different life
A life in CHRIST
If only somebody could hear me
I would shout out loud
'Alive is CHRIST'
And the reward for those
Who live without Him
Is worse than death
It is eternal loneliness
Eternal agony is my future
Tortured an godforsaken forever
Will I turn back ever?
Never
6. Judgment Day
Then I saw a great white throne
And Him who was seated on it
Earth and sky fled from His presence
And there was no place for them
And I saw the dead
Great and small
Standing before the throne
And books where opened
Another book was opened
Which is the book of life
Concerning those who feared the LORD
And honoured His name
The dead were judged
According to what they had done
As recorded in the books
The sea gave up the dead
And death and Hades gave up the dead
And each person was judged
According to what he had done
Then death and Hades were thrown
Into the lake of fire
Which is the second death
If anyone's name was not found
In the book of life
He was thrown into the lake of fire
Judgement day is coming
Are you ready for being judged?
Judgement day is coming
Will your name be found
In the book of life?
Revelation 20,11-15
Malachi 3,16
7. Choose Christ
Choose death or life
Choose Satan or CHRIST
Choose life
Choose death or life
Choose Satan or CHRIST
Choose CHRIST
Choose death or life
Choose Satan or CHRIST
Choose life
Choose death or life
Choose Satan or CHRIST
Choose CHRIST
8. Sonnetau
Der Tag ist jung, die Luft gar k�hl,
Als die winz'gen Wassertropfen auf meiner Haut ich f�hl' -
Das Nass des Nebels, der schaurig steigt empor
Aus den vertr�umten Eb'nen tief im Schwarzwaldmoor.
Noch ruht die Kreatur im Wald verborgen
Von einem dicken Schleier sanft bedeckt.
Es schweigt die Flur, es graut der Morgen,
Als ein klarer Laut den Tag erweckt:
Die Grille zirpt ihr helles Lied,
Die Stille stirbt, die Ruhe flieht.
Es erwacht das Moor -
Ein neuer Tag ist geboren
Und es kommt mir vor,
Manch qu�lend Drangsal sei verloren.
Die Sonne wirft ihre warmen Strahlen
Durch das Ge�st uralter B�ume.
Die Natur beginnt zu malen
Bilder gleich der sch�nsten Tr�ume.
Der Nebel wehrt sich
Gegen der Sonne Macht -
Ein Kampf entfacht.
Doch es vermehrt sich
Die g�ldene Kraft,
Die es endlich schafft
Und den Dunst besiegt.
Zum Vorschein kommt die ganze Pracht.
V�gel singen und die Sonne lacht.
Vollkommen beherrscht Seinen Beruf,
Der all dies so wunderbar erschuf.
Zarte Spinnweben vom Morgentau benetzt,
Sind der Gr�ser Zier
Und gleichen edlen Perlenschn�ren
Ins lockend Netz sich setzt
So manch' Getier,
Das sich liess vom Glanz verf�hren.
Verlassen und einsam wirken
Die zierlich gewachs'nen Birken,
Die dort draussen auf den Inseln
Alle Blicke auf sich zieh'n.
�berw�ltigt von des Sch�pfers Pinseln
Staune ich und lobe Ihn.
Ein sanfter Wind tr�gt die Hitze fort.
Die Zeit verrinnt, der Abend ergreift das Wort.
Des Himmels Licht gar glutrot gl�ht.
Es verstummt des Spechtes H�mmern.
Des Tages Bl�te ist verbl�ht
Und es beginnt zu d�mmern.
Die Sonne weicht,
Hat bald des Himmels Bett erreicht
Der Tag ist m�de und es erwacht
Eine sternenklare Nacht.
Vergessen werd' ich nimmermehr
Die Bilder die ich sah und seh'.
Und als ich endlich heimw�rts geh',
F�llt mir der Abschied unendlich schwer.
Doch von den Bildern
Die mich tr�umen liessen
Noch berauscht, ja halb benommen,
Nehm' ich mir vor:
Bald schon werd' ich wiederkommen
Um zu geniessen
Den Frieden tief im Schwarzwaldmoor.
