Regarding Death

Somehow

Despite the odds,

This world keeps spinning

around.

And as it turns

people doubt

That it was made at all.

People doubt.

Somehow

They claim

A happy accident of sorts-

Coincidence, 

But I don’t believe in those anymore;

Twists of fate,

When the stars align-

That’s what they say,

But I refuse to trust in such shifting sand.

I refuse to sell my name;

To learn more of my “destiny”

And by it be easily swayed.

I refuse to lay to rest

The question of eternity 

And gamble

On where the dice may or may not land.

No, I wouldn’t be able to rest if I 

Left it all up to that-

But I can show you 

A more excellent way;

One that few are willing to take.

Jesus said the path is narrow;

And it's the only true way.

The sands will shift, 

The seas will roar-

So don't find yourself caught in between the

Rocks and the shore.

God has already taken the rocks and built a path-

One that's safe and secure.

Why make one of your own

In search of various remedies 

When He has already provided the cure?

Do not to drown in indecision-

I suggest 

simply to trust in Him

And put your mind at ease

Regarding death and 

Where you'll end up spending

All of eternity
