My assignment drill, exercise, practice…
I live-Is to live this life, life that I live;
I die-To be a sinner first straight out of the womb;
I live-To repent one day before my doom;
I die-My skin shall dry out, my blood will stop its flow;
I live-My teeth will yellow, my legs will bow;
I die-Memories will I forget, I live yet so I die;
I live-My eyes rings under them, hair receding;
I die-This life’s part dreaming, Salvation entreating;
My assignment-As my flesh digress, I live yet die first…
I die-Help! Me Oh! Lord my God I rebuke this curse
I live-Death has no hold of me, you see spiritually heaven home I be
This the beginning and completion of my Assignment
