If Only You Knew
by Lewis E. Thomas You're up this morning and on your way It's the beginning of a brand new day. You pass a mother with a babe in arms You feel secure with no alarm. You walk on down the busy street If only you knew who you were about to meet. You walk along so straight and fast Not knowing today will be your last. A distant train blows long and loud You've been successful, you are proud. Just ahead is a flower stand It's owner an old gray haired man. As you pass by a Rose bows its head It knows what waits you just ahead. That beautiful Rose turns a scarlet red It knows in a moment you'll be dead. It grieves as it looks into your past Someone told you of Jesus, you just laughed. Christ could have been your shield of protection You chose to go in another direction. DEATH has drawn his sword for you Oh! If you only; if you only knew! Many walk by him, DEATH pays them no mind His appointment with you, he must keep on time! Matters not if your pockets hold silver or gold DEATH strikes the young as well as the old. DEATH'S glittering sword is silent and fast He's waiting for you and you're walking so fast! Suddenly, a cold wind, from where you cannot tell You'll die without Christ; you'll go to Hell. DEATH stands unseen; you're too close too run! Take one more step; your life will be done! Lewis E. Thomas As given by God 1980's? ... Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
