The Prayer of Life

On the path of life Paved in marble The way is smooth We come to a fork in the path Two roads extend into oblivion Left, paved in steel Right, paved in gold Temptations steer us to the steel When we give in, rampaging time consumes Age devours us We are caught in mistakes Lies and faults When the all-familiar light emits Suddenly cradled in warmth God's embrace Strikingly true Our judgment still clouded We pray with the light Hear a voice " Come forth my child" Into the light The steel becomes gold Angels greet us The way is clear Beautiful at most Eyes shimmering at the sight Of this angelic host Nothing is more clear now As we remember the cost That returned which we've lost The one sacrifice that changed humanity One we all know The heart we beat on No boundaries Heaven is our fate now
