Life's Biggest Choice
Here I sit painting my nails,
There you are yelling "Save the whales."
Here I am concerned of how I look,
There you are with your nose in a Book.
Here I am watching tv,
There you are, trying to study.
Here I go, to far away places,
Here you stay, putting smiles on faces.
Here I am, saving my money,
There you are, feeding all who are hungry.
Why is it, that no matter what I do,
I can never seem to be better than you?
You look so plain and ordinary,
But yet you are so extraordinary.
While I sit and waste my time on me,
You are trying to bring people glee.
What do you have that I can't comprehend?
I can have anything; my money's no end.
Maybe it's something I cannot buy,
I know that I need it, I admit with a sigh.
So please tell me what it is you've got.
And how did you get, I'm not asking a lot.
You tell me it's Jesus, your very best friend.
And that His love for you will never end.
You tell me you talk to Him when you pray.
But you said something else; please, what did you say?
You said He loves me too, and that He's with me, even now.
How can this be? Please, tell me how!
You say just to ask Him into my heart,
And then my eternal joy will start.
You say to confess all the wrong things I've done,
And then He'll forgive them all, every one!
But, you say, I really have to mean it in my heart,
There's no turning back once I start.
Please tell me more, oh friend, dear friend!
Tell me, how will it all end?
If we are in Jesus,
What will happen to us?
You tell me that when we die,
No matter how the people cry,
We'll end up in Heaven, where there is no sorrow,
And we'll never worry about tomorrow.
We'll live in bliss with the Three-in-One,
God the father, the Holy Spirit, and His son!
Oh thank you! Thank you! For telling me this!
I want to live in eternal bliss!
This sounds like the choice, I need to make,
That way my soul, will no longer be at stake.
And so I give my all to Him,
And turn away, from all of my sin.
"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."
Psalm 51:10
