Will Man Survive Earth's Future

Man has been on earth quite a while
but every generation he asked how long?
even so, the next generation came along
carrying on their life thinking they belong

When one thinks of the past 100 years
so many changes for man to ponder
yet so far they've survived all that's come
thinking there's still much time to wander

Many experts tell us of climate change
with the dangers that would bring
politicians seem to ignore the dangers
thinking finance first before anything

The answer lies in going to the creator
for He knows when things will end
He's in control of this whole universe
so be sure you make Him your friend

For this friend is almighty God Himself
who's promised to judge one and all
those who believe His word will He save
but those that reject Him will eternally fall
