Am I Too Young To Die

Many of our youths today think that they are too young to die,
They don't realize that the devil has blinded them by telling so many lies.
It's ok to be in church and still have some type of fun,
Why do I see so many of the young people dying by someone with a gun?
It's sad to see them killing each other or trying to take their own life,
We need to stop all of this hate, envy, jealousy, and even strife.
It is so dangerous to take advantage of God's mercy and his grace,
Do you think you could get by and never stand before him to see his heavenly 
face?
There are many parents burying their children who died before their time,
Some of the youth want to live on the streets by being drug addicts, alcoholics, or 
committing a crime.
There are many young people asking the question, "Am I too young to die?"
Don't let Satan trick you & steal your soul because Heaven will slip you by.
It doesn't matter to God how old or young you really are,
He's right there waiting for you to come into your heart and he's not far.
You see I was once a teenager tricked by Satan's many different devices to get 
me out there and to be lost,
I thank God my parents didn't have to bury me because that would have been a 
tragedy and at what cost.
From the youth eyes they think the world is having so much fun out there,
They don't realize that they could lose their soul and would Satan really care?
My heart goes out to the youth because a lot of them is looking for love in the all 
of the wrong places,
They are carrying around so much pain & hurt that you could see it on their faces.
I'm here to tell you that there is hope and things will seem brighter on tomorrow,
You don't have to carry all of your burdens and hold on to all of that sorrow.
God loves you so much that he gave his only Son so you don't have to perish,
Please don't think that you are too young to die because your soul God does 
cherish!
