Life

Can you stop, or slow way down,

life is fast, it makes you frown.

Find your place, don't be left out,

it won't last long, this life's bout.

Take the time, he wants you to,

whenever you can, Jesus is due.

You will be blessed, for your love,

believe in the son, he's up above.

It's up to you, the door is open,

forever your life, always spoken.
