Death

By Dennis Dames

 

We are souls on a journey

…in life so temporary

Making our exclusive marks

…for better or worse

 

We live for a purpose

…the reward’s on the other side

With our brand of meaning and function

We’ll be known by our works

 

Heaven’s a destiny

…hell’s a choice

Praise God!

…or otherwise perish

 

Death’s every second

…it’s real and sure

For me and you

…the judgement await

 

I want to praise my redeemer

…’til eternity withers

In praise and song

…all the days long

 

Death is the ultimate transformation

…for the rich and poor

…wise and foolish

…believers and skeptics

…and the heathens and atheists

 

So, I prepare to meet my maker

…one day at a time

And I’m happy about tomorrow

…as my soul is right in Jesus’ name

 

Amen.
