Here is the bible study to go along with this song:
WE DON’T GO TO HEAVEN OR HELL WHEN WE DIE

[Intro]
Where are the ones we love
When they close their eyes?
Are they watching from heaven?
Are they somewhere beyond the skies?
The Scriptures give an answer,
A hope that we can keep—
They haven't gone away forever...
They're only asleep.
[Verse 1]
The living know their days will end,
But the dead know nothing at all.
No thoughts, no pain, no broken hearts,
No hearing when we call.
No work or knowledge in the grave,
No sorrow running deep.
Yahweh has given them their rest—
In death they peacefully sleep.
[Pre-Chorus]
Like Daniel said,
They sleep in the dust.
Like Lazarus rested
Until Yeshua called him up.
Death is not forever,
The grave will lose its claim.
There's coming a resurrection
When Yeshua calls their name!
[Chorus ]
We don't go to heaven or hell when we die,
We rest in the grave till the trumpet cries!
The dead are asleep, but they'll rise again,
When Yeshua returns and the Kingdom begins!
So don't say goodbye
Like you'll never meet again.
Death is only sleep—
It is not the end!
The grave cannot hold them!
Death cannot win!
Yeshua is coming—
And they'll rise again!
[Verse 2]
David died and David was buried,
He did not ascend to heaven above.
The faithful wait for resurrection,
Resting in Yahweh's love.
No immortal soul escaping,
For the soul itself can die.
Immortality is Yahweh's gift—
Not something born inside.
Yeshua is the firstfruits,
The promise of what's to come.
And those who sleep awaiting Him
Will rise when He returns!
[Chorus]
We don't go to heaven or hell when we die,
We rest in the grave till the trumpet cries!
The dead are asleep, but they'll rise again,
When Yeshua returns and the Kingdom begins!
So don't say goodbye
Like you'll never meet again.
Death is only sleep—
It is not the end!
The grave cannot hold them!
Death cannot win!
Yeshua is coming—
And they'll rise again!
[Bridge]
Our friend Lazarus sleeps...
That's what Yeshua said.
Then He told them plainly:
"Lazarus is dead."
Sleep...
Waiting...
Resting...
Until the voice of Yeshua
Calls the sleeping from their beds.
One day that voice
Will thunder across the earth—
"AWAKE!"
And graves will open!
[Build]
The trumpet will sound!
The dead shall be raised!
Those sleeping in the dust
Will awaken to His praise!
Not when they died—
But when Yeshua appears!
The day we've been waiting for,
The hope we've carried through the years!
[Final Chorus]
WE DON'T GO TO HEAVEN OR HELL WHEN WE DIE!
WE REST IN THE GRAVE TILL THE DEAD SHALL RISE!
THE TRUMPET WILL SOUND!
YESHUA WILL COME!
AND THE SLEEPING WILL AWAKEN,
EVERY FAITHFUL ONE!
Death is not forever!
The grave is not the end!
Those we've loved and lost
WE WILL SEE AGAIN!
No more saying goodbye!
No more tears in our eyes!
THE GRAVE WILL OPEN!
THE DEAD WILL RISE!
[Outro]
So when you stand beside the grave
Of someone that you love,
Remember they're not watching
From somewhere up above.
They're resting...
They're waiting...
Safe from sorrow, pain, and weeping.
Until the resurrection morning...
They're only sleeping.
[softly]
Until Yeshua calls...
"Awake."

Death Is Sleep Until the Resurrection

[Intro]

Six days of labor,
Then comes the rest.
Six thousand years of man,
Then the Kingdom comes.

From the beginning
The pattern was made.
You cannot change the picture
If you change the day.

[Verse 1]

In the beginning, when creation was new,
Yahweh worked six days, then the seventh came into view.
He blessed it and sanctified that day,
Before there was a nation,
Before Sinai came.

It wasn't made by man,
It wasn't man's decree.
The seventh day was written
Into creation's prophecy.

[Pre-Chorus]

Six days of labor,
One day of rest.
Yahweh made the pattern,
And Yahweh knows best.

[Chorus]

Six thousand years of man,
One thousand years of Yeshua.
Six days of labor,
Then the Sabbath rest.

The seventh day is coming,
The Kingdom drawing near.
A thousand years of righteousness,
When Yeshua reigns here.

Change the day,
Destroy the prophecy.
Change the day,
And hide what we should see.

The Sabbath is the picture
Of the Kingdom yet to be.

[Verse 2]

"Remember the Sabbath,"
The commandment plainly reads.
"The seventh day is Yahweh's,"
Not a day that man decrees.

No prophet ever changed it,
No apostle moved the day.
Yeshua kept the Sabbath;
He never took it away.

He came not to destroy
What His Father had declared.
And those who followed after Him
Walked the path that He prepared.

[Chorus]

Six thousand years of man,
One thousand years of Yeshua.
Six days of labor,
Then the Sabbath rest.

The seventh day is coming,
The Kingdom drawing near.
A thousand years of righteousness,
When Yeshua reigns here.

Change the day,
Destroy the prophecy.
Change the day,
And hide what we should see.

The Sabbath is the picture
Of the Kingdom yet to be.

[Verse 3]

One day as a thousand,
The Scriptures give the key.
Six days point toward the labor
Of man's long history.

Wars and pain and sorrow,
Man choosing his own way.
But the rule of man will reach its end
At the dawning of that day.

Then comes the seventh thousand,
The Sabbath of the plan,
When Yeshua rules the nations
And brings His rest to man.

[Bridge]

Why the seventh day?

Because the seventh tells the story.

Why the seventh day?

Because the seventh points toward glory.

Six days of labor,
Then comes the rest.

Six thousand years,
Then Yahweh's Kingdom is manifest.

The Kingdom.
The rest.
The promise yet to be.

The Sabbath isn't only a command—

It's a weekly prophecy.

[Instrumental Break]

[Breakdown ]

If you move the day,
The picture disappears.

Six no longer leads to seven.
Labor no longer leads to rest.

But Yahweh's pattern hasn't changed.

Six days...

Then seven.

Six thousand years...

Then the Kingdom.

[Final Chorus]

Six thousand years of man!
One thousand years of Yeshua!
Six days of labor!
Then the Sabbath rest!

The seventh day is coming!
The King will take His throne!
The earth will learn His righteous ways,
And Yahweh's truth be known!

Change the day—
Destroy the prophecy!
Change the day—
And hide what we should see!

We will remember the seventh day,
The sign of what will be.

[Outro]

Six days of labor...
One day of rest.

Six thousand years of man...
One thousand years of Yeshua.

The seventh day...

The coming Kingdom...

A living prophecy.

Remember the Sabbath.

Remember the prophecy.

CHOOSE LIFE

(CLICK HERE FOR THE SONG)

In the Bible Yahweh tells us He puts before us life and death. Blessings and Cursing.
He wants us to choose life.

I call heaven and earth to witness this day,
I have set before you life and death,
Blessing and cursing...
Therefore—
Choose life.

In the garden stood two different ways,
Two trees before the eyes of man,
One said, “Trust the One who made you,”
One said, “Choose your own command.”

From the beginning Yahweh showed us,
There is a path that leads to life,
Trust His wisdom, hear His voice,
Turn from darkness—make your choice.

There’s a way that seems right to a man,
But death is waiting at the end,
So I will not lean on what I understand,
I will put my trust in Him.

Choose life! Choose life!
Yahweh sets the choice before us,
Blessing or cursing,
Darkness or light.

Choose life! Choose life!
Love Yahweh and hear His voice,
Walk in His ways,
Keep His commandments—
Choose life!

“See, I set before you life and good,
And death and evil,” Yahweh said,
Love Me, walk within My ways,
And I will guide the road ahead.

Blessed in the city, blessed in the field,
Blessed in the work your hands have done,
Peace and wisdom, strength and guidance,
When Yahweh's ways become your own.

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart,
Lean not upon your own way,
Acknowledge Him in everything,
And He will make your pathway straight.

Choose life! Choose life!
Yahweh sets the choice before us,
Blessing or cursing,
Darkness or light.

Choose life! Choose life!
Love Yahweh and hear His voice,
Walk in His ways,
Keep His commandments—
Choose life!

The world says, “Follow your own heart,
Do whatever feels right to you,”
But feelings change and men are wrong,
Only Yahweh's Word is true.

Seek first His Kingdom and righteousness,
Not wealth or comfort, praise or fame,
For what would profit all this world,
If we turn away from Yahweh's name?

Great peace have those who love Your law,
Your commandments light the way,
Perfect, righteous, pure and true,
A lamp to guide us every day.

They are not chains that bind our hands,
They are the pathway we should know,
Instructions from a loving Father,
Showing us the way to go.

Yeshua said,
“Not My will—
But the will of Him who sent Me.”

Not my wisdom—
Not my way—
Father, teach me to obey.

Not the world—
Not my pride—
Yahweh, I will choose Your side.

When every other voice grows loud,
Your Word will be my solid ground.

Every morning...
The choice is there.

Life or death.
Blessing or cursing.

My way...
Or Yahweh's way.

Today I choose...

LIFE.

Choose life! Choose life!
Yahweh sets the choice before us,
Blessing or cursing,
Darkness or light.

Choose life! Choose life!
Love Yahweh and hear His voice,
Walk in His ways,
Keep His commandments—
Choose life!

Choose truth! Choose His way!
Seek His Kingdom every day,
Trust His wisdom,
Stand and obey!

Choose life! Choose life!
There is hope beyond the grave,
Resurrection, life eternal,
In the Kingdom Yahweh gave!

I have set before you
Life and death,
Blessing and cursing...

Therefore choose life,
That you
And your children
May live.

Choose life.

CHOOSE LIFE

If anyone knows my daughter Elise Salinas and her husband Paul of San Antonio Texas.
Tell them I would love to see my grandson. They are in a cult church called the Philadelphia Church of God headquartered in Edmond Ok. They church leader, a man that calls himself KING OF ISRAEL, Gerald Flurry will not allow them to see me.
I made this short video from a picture of the little guy that I have.... I would like to meet him before I die.

---

[Verse 1]
Twelve long years have come and gone,
Still I wonder where the time has flown.
I remember little hands in mine,
And I'd give anything to turn back time.

There are photographs upon my wall,
Memories of when I had you all.
And though the years have carried you away,
There's something that I need to say.

[Chorus]
Tell my children I love them,
Tell them their daddy still cares.
Tell them I've never forgotten
The laughter, the memories, the years.

Tell them my door is still open,
There's nothing they need to explain.
I don't want an argument,
I don't need to place any blame.

If you see my son,
If you see my daughter,
There's only one thing I ask you to do—
Tell my children I love them,
And I'm still waiting for them too.

[Verse 2]
Nathan, you're still my little boy,
Though you're a grown man with a life of your own.
Sometimes I wonder what your days are like,
And if you ever think about home.

Elise, I remember when you called
On one of the darkest days I've known.
You sent a picture of your little boy,
A grandson I've never held or known.

You told me there'd be a little girl,
Another precious life upon the way.
I've wondered what she looks like
And I've prayed for all of you each day.

[Chorus]
Tell my children I love them,
Tell them their daddy still cares.
Tell them I've never forgotten
The laughter, the memories, the years.

Tell them my door is still open,
There's nothing they need to explain.
I don't want an argument,
I don't need to place any blame.

If you see my son,
If you see my daughter,
There's only one thing I ask you to do—
Tell my children I love them,
And I'm still waiting for them too.

[Verse 3]
We have already lost so much,
There are empty places at the table now.
There are voices that we cannot hear,
And faces that we cannot see right now.

Sterling's sleeping, waiting for the day
When Yahweh calls him from the grave.
And I believe we'll see him once again
In the resurrection Yahweh promised us.

So while there's still a little time,
Why should another year go by?
Life is short and tomorrow isn't ours—
Don't let love become another goodbye.

I don't ask you to agree with me,
I don't ask you to choose a side.
I'm only asking you to remember
I'm still your dad inside.

No man can erase the memories.
No distance can change what's true.
Whatever happened yesterday,
I will always love you.

And if the telephone should ring tonight,
There'd be no anger in my voice.
I'd simply say, "I've missed you so.
I'm thankful just to hear your voice."

Tell my children I love them,
Tell them I'm waiting right here.
Tell them there's nothing to fear from me,
No condemnation waiting here.

I don't need explanations.
We don't have to settle the past.
Just give your old dad a phone call—
That's really all I ask.

Tell my children I LOVE THEM,
Tell them their daddy still cares.
Through every lonely Sabbath,
Through every unanswered prayer.

Tell Nathan that I love him.
Tell Elise I love her too.
Tell my grandchildren Grandpa loves them,
Though we've never had the chance to meet.

And someday when Yahweh makes all things new,
And broken families are restored,
May we stand together as a family
And never be separated anymore.

Nathan...
Elise...

If somehow you ever hear this song,
There's something I want you to know.

You don't have to explain.
You don't have to defend.
You don't have to make up for all these years.

Just call me.

My door is open.

My heart is open.

And no matter how many years may pass...

I'm your dad.
And I love you.

Unless The Father Calls (song)

UNLESS THE FATHER CALLS (SONG)

CLICK HERE FOR THE SONG

CLICK HERE FOR THE BIBLE STUDY

You can hear the words a thousand times,
You can read them every day,
You can search through every page of truth
And still not see the way.
For wisdom isn't born in man,
Nor opened by our will;
The Father has to draw the heart,
The restless soul make still.

Yeshua said, "No man can come
Unless he's drawn to Me,"
The Father calls, the Father draws,
The Father makes us see.

Unless the Father calls you,
Unless He opens up your eyes,
You cannot see the mysteries
That worldly wisdom hides.
He writes His law upon your heart,
He leads you to His Son;
Unless the Father calls you,
The journey's not begun.

The natural mind cannot receive
The things that come from Yahweh;
His truth seems foolish to the world,
So many turn away.
But when He opens up the mind,
The Scriptures come alive;
What once was hidden now is clear,
His Word begins to shine.

It's given unto some to know
The mysteries of His plan;
Not by the wisdom of this world,
Not by the strength of man.

Many are called, but few are chosen,
Each one in Yahweh's time;
The world is blinded for a season,
According to His design.
Not lost forever, not forgotten,
Their day will surely come;
When Yahweh lifts the veil away
And calls them one by one.

So don't be shocked when those you love
Can't see what seems so clear;
The Father knows the time to call,
Their season may draw near.

The carnal mind resists His law,
It will not bow its knee;
But Yahweh gives a heart made new
And sets the captive free.
"I'll write My law within their hearts,
My Spirit I will give;
I'll cause them to walk in My ways
And teach them how to live."

We do not earn His holy call
By anything we've done;
According to His purpose,
He draws us to His Son.

He calls...
He opens...
He teaches us to see.
He draws...
He changes...
He sets the blinded free.

Not human strength,
Not human pride,
Not intellect or fame;
The Father must reveal the truth
And call us by His name.

If you can hear—then give Him thanks.
If you can see—then humbly walk.
If you understand His Word,
Remember who first called.

It wasn't you who found the truth
By wisdom of your own;
Yahweh opened up your eyes
And called you to His Son.

Unless the Father calls you,
Unless He opens up your eyes,
You cannot see the mysteries
That worldly wisdom hides.
He writes His law upon your heart,
He teaches you His ways;
Unless the Father calls you,
You cannot see His grace.

The Father calls,
The Father draws,
The Father makes us see;
And everyone He calls today
He calls to faithfully obey.

No one comes to Yeshua
Unless the Father draws.
No one sees without His light,
No one understands His laws.

So when your words seem powerless
And others cannot see,
Put the truth before them—
Then leave the rest with Yahweh.

The Father calls...
The Father draws...
The Father opens eyes.

And in His perfect time,
He'll make the blinded see.
