Passport.

Have you got your passport
To gain eternal life
With the stamp of Jesus
It counters pain and strife
There's no need for renewal
It lasts your earthly stay
Then off you go to heaven
Where your passports thrown away.

You do need to be open
Accept that He is Lord
Allow His Spirit to come in
And once He is on board
He'll change the things that you've accrued
The bitterness and sin
But first you need your passport
So be sure to ask Him in.
