Lyrics	Writers notes
The gates of hell have been opened The coming time draws near The Spirit of truth has spoken My words are true and sincere I am the light to all men But many will refuse to see The wicked will fall and die to sin You can live, just believe in me A time is coming The time has now come My reward is with me Put your faith in the son Will you refuse to accept my love How much more could I give Grace and peace from above Embrace me so you may live I came to give you my life My blood spilt to the ground On my flesh I bore the stripes I know my teachings are sound A time is coming The time has now come My reward is with me Put your faith in the Son The task given is now complete I have done what was meant to be Satan now crushed in defeat Pick up your cross and follow me What the prophets said has come true Christ will suffer and rise from the dead Go into the world preach the good news Carry out my work to the end A time is coming The time has now come My reward is with me Put your faith in the Son	As for number three, it’s self explanatory, “Faith in the Son”. I think most people in the world have the misconception that what we do and how we do it will get us into heaven. One of the most wonderful gifts that God gave us was his gift of grace. The acceptance of his son is good enough. He alone is the replacement for you and I on the cross. At the end when he was about to give up his spirit, he asked his God and father, “ my God, why have you forsaken me”? The reason that he asked this was because he, like God is perfect, without sin. When he took our place on the cross, he bore the sin for all. God has no tolerance for sin and Jesus was never a sinner and had never felt or experienced sin before. When he bore our sin he felt true separation from God himself. He was our substitute for our sin. The wonderful thing is that when Christ died on the cross, he conquered sin and death at the same time.
