Living Eternally In Christ

There is a life eternal to live
but so many pass it by
living solely for this world
when at the end of it they die

God has provided life eternal
for those that will trust in His son
receiving His imputed righteousness
they can live knowing His well done

No one can achieve this alone
it can only be done in Christ
He gives us our passport
paid by His blood divinely priced

Our own efforts will never suffice
no matter how hard we try
it filled with our dirty rags
divine justice is way too high

So come unreservedly to Christ
with Him you’ll live for ever
to dwell with Him for evermore
know you’ve crossed your final river
Quote Prompts:

(Groucho Marx quote: 
“I intend to live forever, or die trying.”)
