Remember Your Creator

Young one, Enjoy your youth Be happy while you are still young Do what you want to do And follow your heart’s desire But remember the LORD Is going be your Judge For whatever you do. Don’t allow anything to worry you Or cause you pain You aren’t going to be young very long. So remember your Creator While you are still young Before those dismal days And years come When you will say, “I don’t enjoy life any more.” When the light of the sun, The moon and the stars Will grow dim for you And the rain clouds Will never pass away Then your arms That protected you Will tremble And your legs now strong Will grow weak Your teeth be too few To chew your food And your eyes too dim To see your way. Your ears will be deaf To the noise you hear You barely be able To hear the mill as it grinds Or music as it plays But even the song of a bird Will wake you from sleep You will be afraid Of high places And walking will be dangerous Your hair will turn white You will hardly be able To drag yourself along And all desire will be gone. We are going to our final Resting place And then there will be Mourning in the streets The silver chain will snap The golden lamp Will fail and break. The rope at the well Will break And the water jab Will shattered Our bodies will return To the dust of the earth And the breath of life Will go back to God Who gave it to us So remember you Creator While you still breathe.
