The Good Life

He designed all of us for the good life. It is up to us to choose it. He wants all of us to be happy, Whether our hair is naturally straight or nappy. Yes, certain circumstances may have given, Faces of other races a head start, But no matter how you look, The world shook, as a result, Of God’s only begotten son’s death, On the cross, the moon dripped in blood, The sun refused to shine, So that we can all no matter how we look, Will live the good life that is divine. He gave all of us a unique design, And homework on this planet that you Were only assigned. The only way That you can live the good life Is to know that by His stripes You are healed and to leave All of the heartache, pain, and strife At the cross but only until you Do that you will forever be lost The good life is promised to everyone Who lives under the sun because, God’s gift to us was the death, burial, And resurrection of His only begotten son.
