Stop!

Choosing to follow the dark side of sin
Refusing to repent and to be forgiven
Living in deep darkness with no hope or light
Trapped in an evil cave darker than night 

   Why... Why won't you listen to me when I say 
   Stop....!  Stop!  You're going the wrong way!
   You're heading for the edge of the cliff
   Stop...!   Stop right now before it's too late!

Why won't you heed the multiple warnings from God?
How many times did Jesus reach out to you in love?
Why do you decide to stray so far from what's right?
I love you... please don't take the wrong way again tonight

   Why... Why won't you listen to me when I say 
   Stop....!  Stop!  You're going the wrong way!
   You're heading for the edge of the cliff
   Stop...!   Stop right now before it's too late!

       When someone keeps choosing to take their life down that 
                                            slippery sinful path
       It's so hard to watch... it's that out-of-control feeling 
                                         ...and it's very, very sad
