What Life Means To Me

"The Meaning of Life"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

As Life Was Given To Adam, He Was Never To Know Death
Jealousy caused satan to approach him through stealth

It was Adam's blunder that spawned the race of man
And The Gift Of Free Will means that we can choose to Eternally Stand

Under God's Merciful Protection, you can't even imagine a better place to be
Accepting The Sacrifice Of Christ, That's The Meaning Of Life to me

Reincarnation is a sham....how much trust can truly be placed in another's breath
I won't try to sell you on God Because I Felt His Touch for myself

And that is all the Proof I need to understand that Only With Him Is There Life
You Have To Find That For self, otherwise, you're as helpless as a puppet under the knife

Charmaine Chircop September 24, 2015 at 3:57 PM I won't try to sell you God because I felt his touch myself -I really feel this...I felt his touch too , and sometimes I really wish to share and sell Him to others for free , but yes , you are right..
