I Never Knew You

Matthew 7:13-23

lyrics

I have said my last goodbyes.

To my judgement in the skies.

The leftward gate is very thin:

Heaven’s treasure all within.

The gate on the other side

Is filled with smoke, and very wide.

A few go left in robes of white.

The rest in chains go to the right.



“Lord, Lord” is what I replied,

And He saw my heart inside.

I looked at Him and He shook His head.

He looked at me and He said:

“I never knew you.”



I went to church most every week.

I didn’t kill, or steal, or cheat.

I read Your book most every day.

I even made some time to pray.

I played for You and sang Your songs.

I gave You tithes my whole life long.

I gave some earthly pleasures up.

I ate Your bread and I drank Your cup!



“Lord, Lord” is what I cried,

But He knew my heart inside.

I looked again and He shook His head.

He looked at me and He said:

“I never knew you.” (No!)

“I never knew you.” (No!)

“Now go!”



He removes my white sheep hide,

And reveals the wolf inside.

On the vine, he peels my skin,

And reveals the thorns within.

I feel the heat rise from my toes.

The smell of sulfur burns my nose.

I see a furnace full of stone,

A boiling lake, and a black, burnt throne!



“Lord, Lord” is what I yelled,

But He knew my fate was hell!

I looked again and He shook His head.

He looked at me and He said:

“I never knew you.” (No! No!)

“I never knew you.” (No! No! No!)

“I never knew you.”
