“Life After Death” KJ-52 lyrics

I rolled out the bed as the alarm started going off

rubbed my head with my arm it was the crack of dawn

I’m late fo work and I really just hate my job

I kissed my wife good-bye and then I walk across the lawn

got in the car out the driveway and I’m riding on the road by the mall

past the highway that I’m flying on but

it slows to crawl cause some guy was just driving wrong

and I’m getting mad cuz I wonder why it's going on

get out the way I just scream as I’m driving on

I hate my day and this way that it started off

I change lanes and I thought that I was pulling onto

the main lane but just then I saw this green Honda

it straight came next thing it was the window shattered

felt a great pain my body being bruised and battered

it all changed went black and I knew I had it

I coughed blood breathed my last breath that was it

Chorus

what ya gonna do when there's no time left?

what ya gonna do when ya take ya last step?

what ya gonna do when ya breathe ya last breath

out ya chest and find out that there's life after death? (x2)

next thing I know everything just got real quiet

I opened my eyes to my surprise now it's real silent

I realized I had died now it's my judgment

I’m standing before the Most High now and all of the sudden

He said to me, "Why should I let you into My heaven?"

I told God, "Well really I’m a good person."

He showed my life and all the times now that I was sinning

every line to every curse to every bad decision

from every lie to every word there was nothing hidden

He showed how Christ died and with my life and that I’d killed Him

He showed me time after time how I’d reject Him

I never cared about the sacrifice God had given

I never cared about my life or the way I lived it

and now I’ve died and it's too late to be forgiven

guilty of my crime I’m sentenced to eternal prison

it's dark, I’m alone, I feel my flesh burning

CHORUS

I rolled out the bed as the alarm started going off

I scratch my head and then I yawned it was the crack of dawn

I’m praying and I’m thanking God that I got my job

I kissed my wife good-bye then I walked across the lawn

got in the car out the driveway and I’m riding on the road by the mall

past the highway that I’m driving on but

it slows to crawl cause some guy was just driving wrong

but I’m not mad I just wonder why it's going on

I use the time to pray for my family now and for my mom

I’m thanking God for the way my day had started off

I change lanes and I thought that I was pulling onto

the main lane but doesn't that guy see my green Honda?

it straight came next thing it was the window shattered

felt a great pain my body being bruised and battered

it all changed went black and I knew I had it

I coughed blood breathed my last breath that was it

CHORUS

next thing I know everything just got real quiet

I opened my eyes to my surprise now it's real silent

I realized I had died now it's my judgment

I’m standing before the Most High now and all of the sudden

He said to me, "Why should I let you into My heaven?"

I told God, "I never was a good person."

He showed my life and all the times now that I was sinning

every line to every curse to every bad decision

from every lie to every word there was nothing hidden

He showed how His Son died and with my life and that I’d killed Him

but He showed the time I chose Christ and I didn't reject Him

He showed the time when I took the love that God had given

He tried to serve thru my life whenever I lived it

and now I’ve died but I thank God that I’m forgiven

He wiped the tears from my eyes as I cried and thanked Him

cuz forever I’m gonna be with Him just in Heaven

CHORUS

This song talks about two different types of people. The first person represents the non-believer. He does what the world does.
The second person is the one who truly follows Jesus. You can see the difference in his life when he doesn’t overreact while driving on the road. Instead of getting angry he just prays.
The person who does not surrender his life to Jesus will be almost exactly like the first person in the song. He or she will one day die and stand before God for their judgment.
What a sad day that will be when those who thought they could get into Heaven by doing good things and being a good person find out that just being a good person doesn’t cut it. Since they didn’t accept Jesus they will be cast into Hell which is the second death. (Revelation 21:8)
On the other hand, the one who truly follows Jesus will one day die and go to Heaven where he or she will worship the Lord forever. The true followers will find out that there’s life after death.
My only question for you is this...
Which of the two types of people are you?
