What If the World Was a Better Place

What If This World Were A Better Place?

What if you knew this world would be a better place?
Would this bring hope and a smile on your face?

What if I were to tell you that things will get better?
I could give you this message, with a signed letter.

What if you woke up tomorrow, with no more worries?
What if you could get thru life, with no “big hurries?”

I think we both know that this just isn’t meant to be.
There’s an evil world out there.   It’s plain to see!

We often grow up with many dreams and ambitions.
This often brings out in each us many good ambitions.

But we too often see the world around us fall apart.
And this often leads to a broken life and heart.

There is a life like no other many fail to find.
It can bring true joy and a Godly peace of mind.

This life is eternal, and there’s few that’ll find it.
If you’ll read God’s word, his words do remind it!

A life everlasting with Jesus can be yours!  For sure!
A place to live in heaven…  Forever and secure!

Won’t you take the opportunity to live in a better place?
And enjoy the kind of living, in God’s abundant grace?

The blessings of life with Jesus, 
are the best ones to receive!
Won’t you put your faith in HIM?  
Simply trust and believe!
