Just when I begin to forget how sick I am,
things come in the mail to remind me
that my time to meet Jesus is getting closer.
Oh, I don't mind so much anymore,
It's just that doctors keep messin' up my day,
Sendin' reminder notices for appointments
three weeks away.
Bills keep comin' in the mail that I can't work to pay,
And so-called friends who said they'd call, like uh, YESTERDAY.
But, all of this is okay, 'cause God and His angels
are fixin' me a place, and I don't have to pre-pay,
'cause Jesus gave of Himself long ago,
He paid the all-consuming price with his body, for my soul.
So, it's really okay, 'cause I'm movin' on.
I'm not stressin' over the things I didn't have,
Or the things that I'm leavin' undone, like ...
Or people who passed me by because of my affliction.
As I spend more time at home in isolation,
in quiet reflection and meditation,
in preparation,
earthly things have no power over me.
So it's really okay, 'cause I'm movin' on.
