I AM Ready

I don’t know when or in what way there will be a judgment day for us

Jesus said no one knows the day or the hour, so don’t let anyone ever tell you when it will happen

But I do know that it is coming for Lucifer and those who have embraced sin into their hearts

I know that I will never be foolish enough to live a life that ends with me going to hell with them

But I can imagine that if there is a judgment day for me , the scales of justice will be calibrated

and the witnesses brought forward 
to give testimony of my sins and mistakes 

I can imagine Lucifer is the prosecutor 

his suit is as black as his heart 

and he has carefully crafted his case against me 

to show without a shadow of a doubt 
That I have sinned 

and have fallen short of the Glory of God

And as he closes with his last witness 
and rests his case 

the scale is tipped against me.

My heart is found wanting 

My soul begins to feel weak

my public defender stands up 

his name is Jesus 

his suit is Light 

and as he walks up to the stand 

and approaches the scale 

a drop of blood falls from his hand  

the scale slams to the ground 

and shatters to pieces 

as he looks to me and says 

this one is mine. I paid for him

Lucifer weeps as the gavel is slammed, 

and God says case dismissed on account of the cross

So bring on my court date Lucifer 

“I AM” ready for it. 

only, and I mean only because of Jesus 

There is Nothing I did. Nothing I said. 

Nothing I gave away, and Nothing I paid for 

that made me forgiven and worthy but for Jesus
