We work for pay and a wage
We weren't made for a cage
We're saved by grace thru faith
The choice, of course, is yours to make

He died and rose from the grave
That our soul might be saved
He'll take His bride with Him
So give your life to Him

Before it's too late to start a new page
His plan for you's great, so don't wait
He waits at the gate, so don't hesitate
Only He, can fix the mess you made

This was predicted -- by prophets n sages
Choose His free gift -- or take your wages
Sand may shift -- but not, the Rock of Ages
God's plan, seems a bit -- outrageous

He calmed the sea and waves
Only by faith can we be saved
We're saved by grace thru faith
The choice is yours to make

He died and rose from the grave
That our soul might be saved
He'll take His bride with Him
So give your life to Him

Before it's too late to start a new page
His plan for you's great, so don't wait
He waits at the gate, so don't hesitate
Only He, can fix the mess you made

Be brave and courageous, it's a bit outrageous
Choose His free gift -- or take your wages
Sand may shift -- but not, the Rock of Ages
God's plan, seems a bit -- outrageous

Admit your sin n break free of your cage
Accept His free gift -- or take your wage
The choice, of course, is yours to make
Only He, can fix the mess you made

The choice, I guess, is on your shoulders now
Every tongue will confess, every knee will bow
Take your wage, and live like a refugee
Stay in your cage, or let Him set you free

It ain't too late to start a new page
His plan for you's great, so don't wait
He waits at the gate, so don't hesitate
Only Heee, can fix the mess you made
