THE REAL YOU I went to the cemetery to the grave today But there's only dry bones under the blades of grass Your remains lying in the casket Tissue skin muscle doesn't seem to last As all matter eventually does goes back to dust I know the real you Was not who we knew I know the real you Wasn't in the view Of a stiff lifeless corpse Of a none speaking voice The real you was/(is) heart, spirit, mind and soul This is the real you heart, spirit, mind and soul And not those dry bones, dry bones You are a borrower of time Release for a season I'm not yours your not mine For we all are borrowed sons and daughters from God Here for just a little while, a little while He's bless us to receive each a everyone to a due season To be loaned not own for a moment a little while Spent on this earth, that's cursed This is God's business, His reason Your remains lying in the casket Of a stiff lifeless corpse This is not the real you You have escaped now the view Is eternal worship and praise glory with the .. All mighty Savior and God As you praise in view The real you 1/21/18 James Edward Lee Sr.
