When sin is your boss and you work every day,
The paycheck you earn is a steep price to pay.
The wages are death. That’s the cost for your role.
It takes quite a toll on your heart and your soul.
But wait! There’s good news, so don’t walk away.
There’s a life-giving gift that God offers today.
It’s not something earned. It’s not something sold.
It’s given through Jesus, more precious than gold.
You will have to work, and you may have to strive,
As the Lord sustains you and is keeping you alive.
Eternal life awaits you, so real and so true—
A gift from the Lord that’s prepared just for you.
So which will you choose? Oh, which will it be?
The wages of sin or God’s unearned gift? It’s free!
Why take the wide road with death and such pain
When the narrow path with him has such great gain?
