“Life”

First Published in Dr. Milam's book,

"Beside Still Waters"\

 

Men of the world cry; “Life, life 

  Oh, I must live!”

 

“To the lust of my eyes,

  I must give,”

 

“For an abounding life- to the

  Harlots I’ll go,”

 

“To be a junkie or a pusher,

  I’ll sell my soul,”

 

“Life, life, I must have more,

Drinking a- plenty, and on

  Drugs I’ll soar,”

 

“Life, is good,” says the lust of

  His flesh,

And the pride of this life “I’ll

  Feed and refresh.”

 

“This is life man, let’s live

What we’re dealt:

“Everyone knows- Life is much

Better felt!”

 

Life without responsibilities and

a bed of ease,

What about A.I.D.S and venereal

Disease?

 

Part of an epidemic- Is it too

Late to regret?

Where’s my hope- is there help

I can get?

 

“This is life,” you once said,

Now sallow looking from the addiction

You’ve fed.

Minds destroyed- the drunkard in

 

His own vomit,

“This is life!” There’s no escape from it.

“This is life? “ Hooked on pornography

  And molesting children

 

There’s still time to turn from

  The depravity of sin.

Most of your life, for God you’ve

  Had no need;

 

But hell is waiting, you better

  Take heed.

Death is real, and life is not a

  Game,

 

Turn to Jesus, and He’ll do the same

For all your sin, He suffered, bled,

  And died.

 

On the cross- For You- was

  Crucified.

Bring all to him! Yourself, and

  Your strife;

 

And He’ll write your name in

  The Lambs Book of Life!

Die out to sin- come alive

  In Christ;

And with that my friend, you’ll

  Start a new life.
