How Precious Life Is

HOW PRECIOUS LIFE IS

From first cry to final breath
Life is a great commodity
A gift of God from Heaven above
Not to be treated shoddily

Yet there are some who go astray
And make a travesty of their life 
Unpaid bills causing great dismay
Bitterness and strife

There is a way one can overcome 
The hardships they create
Dont' give up and become a bum
Look up before it's too late

Look up and take the Master's hand
He's reaching out to you
Get up on your feet and stand
That's all you have to do

Then the precious life that you desire
Will be given unto you
Saving you from a lake of fire
Christ's Blood was shed for you

Yes, life is precious when we give in
To the desires that kept us bound
'Til we learned that Christ saves us from sin
And His saving grace is found

Another splendid sermon from your very prolific and talented quill, Curt. By the way - hunker down - looks like another big one heading your way! Bob

Thanks, Bob, for the great and encouraging comment and for the good advice regarding the storm. I'm hunkered down like the Georgia Bulldogs. Otherwise, I'd have to do like the Atlanta Falcons --- back up and punt! lol

Another great verse Curtis, he does offer a beacon of hope, sad that today many are blind to it. Tom.

I certainly agree with that, Tom! Unless we start looking at Him for who He is, the world is gonna crash. Thanks for your comments and support.

Thank you, Daniel. I often refer to my poems as a 'silent witness' to Christ and His love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness. My prayer is that those who are lost will see the light and accept Him as Lord and Savior. Thank you for your kindness and your invaluable friendship.
