Where Will You Spend Eternity?....
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

Spend Eternity?Where Will You

An average life is awfully brief

But three score years and ten

Yet what takes place when like a thief?

God’s Son returns again?

 

Ever give thought to where you’re bound?

What happens when we die?

Is truly hell beneath the ground?

Is Heaven in the sky?

 

Better be safe and take a look

Place all the facts in view

Let’s scrutinize God’s written book

Let’s see if Christ is true

 

The bible says, that man was first

To live and never die

But disobedience saw earth cursed

And death was born from high

 

Sinless; mankind must run the race

Must take from death life’s crown

God says quite plain that by His grace

He sent Christ Jesus down

 

Its true mankind to death was cursed

Its here for all to see

But through God’s Lamb it’s all reversed

Through faith in Christ we’re free

 

Set free to serve our Lord and King

With joy with peace and love

We’re free to let life’s song take wing

To Heaven’s throne above

 

Through Jesus’ blood there’s second birth

The bible tells us well

But those who doubt God’s Word on earth

Will burn in endless hell…..

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
