ONE BY ONE
by Lewis E. Thomas ONE BY ONE!
One by One many relatives of mine have gone on before me to the grave!
I wonder about many of them, whether they were lost or saved?
One by One I hear of an old school "CLASS MATE" or a friend who "PASSED AWAY"!
Knowing that "I TOO" have an appointment with death and a last and "FINAL DAY"!
One by One we have no "PROMISE" of the next minute, or of tomorrow!
One by One we continue to lose someone dear that brings us "GREAT SORROW"!
One by One our days are numbered and they are in the "HANDS OF GOD" up above!
One by One each day that God let's us possess is a "GIFT OF LOVE"!
One by One the "HANDS OF TIME" are moving quickly around the "DIAL"!
"LIFE is SHORT" and we will only be "HERE" for a "LITTLE WHILE"!
One by One our days are slipping away and we cannot start them over again!
"TIME" is moving swiftly, bringing us closer and closer to "THE END"!
"ONE BY ONE" : Have you stopped to think at all about that today?
Are you prepared to "FACE GOD" on your last and "FINAL DAY"?
Are your "SERVING GOD" with all of your heart and soul?
Or are you serving "YOURSELF" chasing after FAME, POWER, SILVER and GOLD?
We should do our "BEST" to lead the lost to that "OLD RUGGED CROSS"!
We should do our "BEST" to lead them to Jesus so that their soul will not be "LOST"!
One by One...do you serve the Father and the Son?
