When You're There

When you're there (repeat through most of the song)

Oh you say that you've had enough
You didn't think it would be so rough
You had a chance but too long you wait
This pain you did not anticipate
If you knew it was this bad
You would have worried (and hurried)
To be sure that your whole life was in the Way

Chorus:
(When you're there) will you say that you've got no time
(When you're there) to be in his great love divine?
(When you're there) your chance for hope is now just history
(When you're there) and there your soul's in dreaded agony
With the angels who fell into an everlasting hell
You will know just how they feel when you're there

It came to sinning and you did your share
And for your soul you just did not care
You think of friend and you know their fate
You wished you'd warned them but it's too late
If you had a second chance
You would be teaching (and preaching)
To be sure your family and friends would change their way

Repeat Chorus

He was a-hungry and a-thirsty and you gave him no drink
A needy stranger didn't let him in
He was a-naked and in prison and you gave him no help
For my dear Savior you were not a friend

Repeat Chorus

Think about when you're there (when you're there)
It will be too late (when you're there)
Every knee will bow, every tounge confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (when you're there)
You say that life can be way too run (oh, no, you don't wanna be there)

When you're there

Scriptural Reference:

"Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2: 11
