WHEN I LAY THIS BODY DOWN

by Lewis E. Thomas  
4/29/2015 / Poetry

God gave us a body and a limited amount of time.
I want to talk about that as we move down this rhyme!

Are you using your body to bring Glory to God's Holy name?
Does the way you use your body make Him hang His head in shame?

Are you using your body to help others suffering with pain and needs?
Or do you use it to satisfy your lusts and selfish greed?

Do you use your body to raise holy hands up high within God's Courts?
Do you use it to slaughter unborn children that Mothers want to abort?

When its finally time for you to lay your body down!
Will the way you used it up make God smile or frown?

We all have an appointment with death in the future just ahead!
When we will lay this body down and go to join the dead!

Jesus sacrificed his body for you and wore a thorny Crown!
Will you know Him as Savior before you lay your body down?

Ask yourself this question while your body is still strong and sound!
"Will I be lost or saved when I lay this body down?"
