THE LETTER
HOOK

One night death abducted the soul of a man
While he was fast asleep;
The following morning his girl friend discovered
His hard cold body and began to weep.
She closed his eyes and pulled from his fist a letter
That said the “Last things are FOUR;
Four last things you must consider; four last things
You must not ignore!

VERSE ONE
She sat down next to her dead boy friend
And read the letter to the end.
She could not believe what the letter said
With perfect letters written in red.
Here’s exactly what the letter explained
The FOUR LAST THINGS you must ascertain.
The first of the four last things is your death
Your soul will depart along with your breath.
You’ll think this is not truth it must be a lie
Your loved ones will moan weep and cry.
Your life everlasting starts when your soul departs
After this life yes another one starts.
After this WORLD there’s a WORLD to come
That is a WORLD of happiness for some.
For others there’s a world of torments of HELL
Where their burning flesh is all that they’ll smell.

HOOK
One night death abducted the soul of a man
While he was fast asleep;
The following morning his girl friend discovered
His hard cold body and began to weep.
She closed his eyes and pulled from his fist a letter
That said the “Last things are FOUR;
Four last things you must consider; four last things
You must not ignore!

VERSE TWO
She thought to herself how could death come to me?
I’m still young, I’m only twenty three.
Then she looks at her lifeless boy friend and cries out
Oh my God he was younger then me
She turned back to the letter and started
To sob, moan, quiver, and Quake.
After she read and heard distinctly “He didn’t
Make it don’t make his mistake!
The second of the four last things is judgment
Judgment of your immortal soul by Christ.
It’s called a particular judgment after which
Your soul enters hell or paradise.
Within your immortal soul you’ll be served
Your eternal retribution.
That is you’ll be paid back with heaven’s bliss
Or hell’s eternal execution!

VERSE THREE
She tried to turn from the letter but she was
Mesmerized by the four last things.
All this talk of death, judgment, heaven’s bliss
And the agony that hell brings!
Caused her heart to wonder if there was
Really a hell that can cause fright.
Then she heard the voice of her dead
Boy friend Say “believe the letter its right.”
The letter said mortal sin //caused the soul of
Your boy friend to go to hell last night.
You must decide to turn from mortal sin
Enter the Catholic Church and fight!
She wondered who wrote this letter;
Put it in her boy friends fist for her to see!
Then she read in the letter ‘I love thee,
Signed your GUARDIAN ANGEL, it was ME!”
