Death

An Original Work / November 16, 2018

When death comes a knocking

On your door,

Will you be ready to

Meet your Lord?

Have you repented of

All your sins?

Have you made Jesus

Your Lord within?

Or,

Are you still living

Your life for self,

While you put Jesus

Up on the shelf?

Is your life consumed

With pleasing you?

Fulfilling your lusts

Is what you do?

Is life just a party

All for you?

Being entertained sticks

Just like glue?

Forgiven, you say,

You truly are,

So it doesn’t matter

You sin far.

Your idols? “No problem.

Got that licked.”

Tomorrow you learn

Another trick.

In circles you travel

Round and round,

While true peace with God

Is never found.

And, one day death

Will be at your door.

And, God no longer

Can you ignore.

You’ll have to answer

For what you did

With Christ’s sacrifice,

So you might live.

So, don’t play around with

Time you have,

For time’s not your friend,

And, you’ll be had.

Surrender your life up

All to God,

Or be ye prepared to

Face his rod.

For, Jesus died to free

You from sin.

Let his Spirit come to

Live within.

Forsake your idols and

Turn to God.

Believe in Jesus

To be your Lord.

Trust in Jesus with all

of your life.

And, give your heart to him.

Do what’s right.

Jesus will forgive all

Of your sins

When you repent and

You follow him.

Then, you can be sure,

When at death’s door,

That you will be meeting

Christ your Lord.
