What Is Life About
Is life only about education and learning
Followed by working and earning
Up early to get to work and midnight light burning
Never satisfied but for new stuff yearning
Is it about gathering possessions abundant
Or are you in training for something more important
Like living a life of love for God predominant
Like living a life over base passions triumphant
Like living a life over daily sins and wrongs repentant
If you died today where will you spend eternity
Will it be with God in the golden city
Will it be in the fires of hell what a pity
Choose carefully as there is only one opportunity
There is no return from your eternal choice
In heaven you will forever rejoice
In hell the heat the pain the screams and the noise
Jesus calls today listen to his voice
Decide now as at the edge of eternity you poise
Will your short years on earth count
At the end of your life what will it amount
Will you drink living water from the eternal fount
Will you live for Jesus who died on your account
Soon the silver chord broken and you’ll be gone
The curtain between physical and spiritual torn
Loved ones and friends for you will mourn
No more chance to be spiritually reborn
Decide before you leave the body you adorn
Where will you start your eternal dawn
For temporal pleasures hold not him to scorn
Who on the cross your sins has borne
