WHAT IS LIFE

What is life, my mind does wonder,
as on my bed I sleep and slumber.
Is it for fortune or for fame,
or is life just one big game.

If it is a game, I'd like to know,
as on my knees I am bowed low.
Wandering though this life of mine,
wondering where do I draw the line.

Tis not for me, to know jus' why,
we strive to live but have to die.
How we die we cannot tell,
will it be Heaven or will it be Hell.

Will it be by starvation or by the sword,
when will God himself cut the cord.
When in death I will but gain,
as in this life I bare the pain.

Walking though this life of sorrow,
I long and wait but for tomorrow.
Looking at this life of strife,
I long to be with my loving wife.

In JESUS name,
Amen
