Things That Forever Shall Last
What shall I say, my God has forsaken me?
Shall I wallow in self pity, in the sadness I now feel?
With all the health issues my family dealing with,
with all the financial problems that are surreal.
Shall I blame the Lord for my unhappiness?
Shall I place total blame on him?
Shall I turn my back on the Lord of my salvation,
and indulge in the pleasures of sin?
With all the heart ache and pain I now feel,
deep inside this fragile mortal heart;
Shall I give up my faith and eternal hope,
and with the pleasures of the flesh take part?
No I say and I will not cave,
to the temptations Satens placed on me;
I will not give into the temporary pleasures,
and forfeit my reward for eternity.
For the pleasures of the flesh is temporal,
and will soon become faded in the past;
But the joy and love of Jesus Christ,
are the things that forever shall last.
