There was a rich man, who wore purple and
fine linen, each day
Lazarus, a poor man, hungered for the
rich man’s crumbs, each day
He was full of sores, which dogs would
lick, as he laid by the gate
Two men, with opposite viewpoints on
Life, would soon meet their fate
Lazarus died, and was carried by The
Angels, to Heaven
The rich man died, was buried, and he was
ready to bargain
Why, because the rich man, was being
tormented in Hades
He looked up, saw Abraham far away, and he yelled,
Oh please
Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and
send Lazarus
That some water, to cool my tongue, might
be brought, by Lazarus
Father Abraham, I am tormented, in this
endless fire
Abraham said, in your lifetime,
YOU got your heart’s desire
While Lazarus, received evil things, now
he is comforted
Abraham said, now you’re where, you’ll be
forever tormented
Besides all this, there is a Great Gulf
fixed, between Us and YOU
So, that those who may wish, to pass from
here, cannot get to YOU
He went on, nor can those, from where YOU
are, cross over to Us
The rich man said, then I beg YOU,
father, please send Lazarus
To my father’s house, I’ve five brothers,
that he may testify
Lest they also, come to this place of
torment, and tell them why
Abraham said, they have Moses and
The Prophets, let them hear
The rich man replied, no father Abraham,
please make it clear
But if one goes to them, from the dead,
they will surely repent
Abraham said, they will not, even if
Lazarus is sent
YOU may be asking yourself, how does this
story affect me
By any chance, do one of these
characters, represent me
As a Believer, I guess Lazarus, best
suits your answer
To all the people, YOU encounter, YOU may
have to answer
For each one, who finds themselves in Hades,
may wish to ask YOU
Why didn’t YOU tell me The Truth, at
least given me a clue
As they look across the Great Gulf,
tormented eyes fixed on YOU
Saying this is your fault, but Jesus
reminds YOU, that’s not true
Strangers, Neighbors, Church Family,
Friends, even your Family
Each asking this question, how could YOU
let this happen to me
I can’t speak for YOU, but I do not want,
to give them that chance
So, I will tell them All, The Truth about
Jesus, in advance
Christ is The Way, The Truth, and The
Life, back to God Almighty
Accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation, and
YOU will truly see
That God Loves Us so much, that He sent
His Only Son, Jesus
To give His Life, for Our sin debt, that
We might become Righteous
One day, We will join Abraham, Jesus, and
God in Heaven
