If One Day

If one day my God will call me To go and be there at His side I really do not want to leave you But with Him I must abide The soul by fire must be tempered Hence we come to walk on earth To suffer trials and tribulations So our Lord will know our worth Few of us will ever make it Through the tests we face in life Many will the fight relinquish Favouring the rope or the knife Others turn to drugs to blot out The drudgery of daily dread Hoping in their hazy mind set A better life to find instead But alas this is a pipe dream We must follow a cleaner track Ask our Lord for His forgiveness And plead with Him to have us back Then our soul will fly to Heaven Passing others on the way Who have yet to face the trials Of yet another sin filled day
