Shelton, Ricky Van - Don't Overlook Salvation Lyrics






Heaven is a city, built by jewels round
Its beauty is a splendor yet untold
If you neglect salvation you'll never enter in
You'll never ever walk those streets of gold

So don't overlook salvation, while living here in sin
Someday it may be too late to pray
Someday when you need Him, He may not let you in
How awful if He should turn you away

Sometimes we get discouraged, while we walk this weary way
But Jesus said he'd every burden bear
So take Him all your troubles, when it seems all hope is gone
Just trust Him when you go to Him in prayer

Jesus said be ready for you know not when the hour
He may come at morning night or noon
So keep your eyes upon Him and your soul filled with His power
For you know He's surely coming soon

So don't overlook salvation, while living here in sin
Someday it may be too late to pray
Someday when you need Him, He may not let you in
How awful if He should turn you away

    beautiful song

    My mom always had a CD of several of his songs. We have never been a religious family in the slightest. My mother was Protestant and my father was Roman Catholic but they both gave up on their religions. We were raised generally as Atheists, yet we always had this CD. My mom would play it one day every week when we would pull up the curtains and clean the house. These songs still make me think of those times ☺️

    Lord help us to do what the song says, and that is to share our burdens and troubles in prayer to you.Guide us to love your families through and through before we,re through. As time is running out in the day.Help us come to thee each day and not go astray, by searching for worldly ambitions along the way.

    I played this CD to death at the Christian bookstore where I used to work. One of my coworkers told me this particular song was a remake of an old country song by Carl Smith from 1950 called "I Overlooked an Orchid While Searching for a Rose". I'm glad they reworked it!
