WHY NOT Today?

A revision of WHY NOT TODAY from
TRAILS TO ETERNITY.

 

 

They say only the good die young,
Guess we'll be around for awhile;
Still, we pray He will take us home,
As we trudge on, mile after mile.

This sad world offers no future,
Seems we just can't trust anyone;
Politicians telling us lies,
While trying to get us all done.

Why can't they all just tell the truth?
Instead they accuse and abuse;
They lie for money and power,
In the end the innocent lose.


Yes, thank God for each day of life,
But the future holds little hope;
'Til they learn how to truly care,
You and I must learn how to cope.

Sweet Jesus, why not come today?
Take Your people where they belong;
We're ready whenever You are,
By Your teachings You've made us strong.

Some may say it is wrong to pray,
For Paradise before our time;
But Lord, You know who is ready,
Even tomorrow would be fine.

Don't want to leave those we love behind,
So, gracious Lord, take us all away;
We truly believe in Your mercy,
For a life in Your presence we pray.

Agree with you in this bad world today such as it is. Too much crime, crookedness in Govt and all around people not caring about one another til tragedy strikes. God is long awaited, but his time is not our time and he will decide or has already marked the time, so we must be patient and wait it out.

This is a strong write and expresses your deep feelings about the world you live in. In such uncertain times, I guess we all are worried about what is going to happen, but even with havoc all around me I long for life.

Paul,
Beautiful, I have often watched the eastern sky and longed for Jesus to burst through the skies and claim His own. I get tired and want to go home. Only God knows the hour, in the meantime we march on, sometimes crawling, but always trusting in the Lord. Powerful message, my friend.

Many blessings,
~Linda

I AM SURE OUR HEAVENLY FATHER HAS HEARD YOUR PLEA BUT WHAT OF THOSE WHO ARE NOT 'READY' AS YOU ARE? PERHAPS, IT IS FOR THEM HE DELAYS HIS COMING AND BECAUSE I HAVE MANY UNSAVED LOVED ONES, I FOR ONE, AM VERY HAPPY THAT HE DOES. THIS IS A WELL WRITTEN POEM FILLED WITH WONDERFUL PHRASES, RHYME AND VIVID IMAGERY. GOD BLESS YOU AND THANKS FOR SHARING. JOYCE
