Hell will be lonely;
Have you thought about that?
You may want to ponder
This sobering fact.
Though many have said
All their friends will be there,
No friendships exist
In that darkness down there.
It's true you'll find others
Who share your same fate;
But they'll give you no comfort
And you'll find no soul-mate.
The gnashing of teeth
Is all you will hear;
With no words of solace
From those who are near.
For they'll all be absorbed
In their anguish alone;
Just as you will be too,
In your underworld home.
Yes, hell will be lonely
For all who go there;
You'll find no compassion
And no one who cares.
So please don't fall victim
To this terrible fate --
Accept Christ as your Savior
Before it's too late.

And fear not them which kill
the body, but are not able to
kill the soul: but rather fear him
which is able to destroy both soul
and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28)
