Inevitable

No matter how hard you try or what you do
Everyone is going to die for it’s not up to me and you
And when it arrives and we had our final say
God will judge our lives, each and every single day

Of all that was said and all that was done
The poor that you fed and the ones that you shun
The deeds you did and the ones you didn’t do
From back when you were a little kid and life was so new

Every thought that ever crossed your mind
And for all it wrought any happiness you could find
But after that day when He opened your heart
For learning how to pray was only just the start

You seen His Glory and tried to tell all
You told of His Story as others hoped for your fall
But confidently you stand and in His Name you do write
Going throughout the land and shedding His Light

You started  living  for others and accepting who they are
To you they were all brothers, my how you have come so far
Now this is your view, Thy Grace to your soul
This is why God saved you, for you could never afford  the toll
