Left Behind
Left Behind: A Tale of Choices and Eternal Consequences
Lyrics
Don't look back came a call
Someone urged others not to look back.
As they left the burning walls
People left a city that was on fire.
Of a city that Lot loved so much
The city was loved by Lot.
But his wife could not resist
Lot's wife couldn't resist looking back.
Looking back one last time
Lot's wife looked back one last time.
There to be just a stone left behind
Only a stone remained there.
Left behind, forever and ever
Being left behind, facing eternal separation.
With no hope for eternity
No hope for eternity for those left behind.
Missing out on the joy
Those left behind miss out on eternal joy.
That the others will find
Others find joy while the left behind miss it.
Dear Lord don't let me be the one left behind
A plea to not be the one left behind.
There upon three cruel trees
Reference to the crucifixion on three trees.
Hung my Saviour and two thieves
Jesus and two thieves were hung on three trees.
But only one said I believe
Only one of the thieves expressed belief in Jesus.
There to him Jesus said
Jesus told the believing thief about paradise.
Paradise today you'll find
The believing thief will find paradise that day.
But the other will be left behind
The other thief will be left behind.
Left behind, forever and ever
Being left behind means eternal separation.
With no hope for eternity
No hope for eternity for those left behind.
Missing out on the joy
Those left behind miss out on eternal joy.
That the others will find
Others find joy while the left behind miss it.
Dear Lord don't let me be the one left behind
A plea to not be the one left behind.
Left behind (Behind forever)
Reiteration of being left behind forever.
forever (Behind forever)
Emphasis on the eternal nature of being left behind.
And ever (Behind forever)
Continuation of emphasizing eternal separation.
(Behind forever)
Further emphasis on eternal separation.
With no hope (Behind forever)
No hope for those left behind.
For eternity (Behind forever)
Eternal separation for those left behind.
Eternity
Reiteration of the concept of eternity.
Missing out (Behind forever)
Those left behind miss out on joys forever.
On the joys (Behind forever)
Others find joy while the left behind miss it.
That the others will find
Reference to the eternal joy others will find.
Dear Lord don't let me be the one left behind
A plea to not be the one left behind.
