JUST ANOTHER DAY

JUST ANOTHER DAY There's a time to live and a time to die; One day we all must say good-by. Though death is daily found everywhere, It catches most folk unprepared! My day begins in a spin; Sometimes I wish I had a twin! The alarm clock rings, my kids get up; I pour hot coffee in my cup. I say a quick prayer, I comb my hair, I can't decide what I should wear. Red or blue; What shall I do? I must choose quick; no time to lose! My kids can't find their shoes and socks! I'm frequently checking the kitchen clock. Frustration builds, I start to fuss! My kids rush out to catch the bus. I crank my car and head for work. DARN, hot coffee spills on my shirt! As morning traffic creeps along, I listen to my favorite songs. At work I sit down at my desk, there's much to do; what a mess! I'm much too busy to break for lunch; I'll grab a sandwich and fries to munch. The hours at work don’t go by fast. The time to go has come at last! I'm very tired and about to flop, But I need to make a few quick stops. Walgreens, Publix, Dillard's too; I have to return a pair of shoes. Today I haven't really felt my best, But I'll be fine with a little rest. As I walk about the store and shop, I clutch my chest and then I drop! A woman shouts "Are you o.k.?" I felt my life slip away. My soul has entered a dark place; Strange creatures stare in my face! The air is filled with death and gloom; I hope this nightmare ends real soon! I had not planned to die today; I have kids to raise and bills to pay! My God! I'm only forty-two; I still had many things to do! I still can hear the pastor's voice: "Heaven or hell is your choice. Tomorrow may not come your way; Give your heart to Christ today!" I mocked at those who preached God's word. I didn't believe the things I heard. I would lie and pretend that I was saved. I mimicked how the religious behaved. I sung in the choir and said "Amen", But I led a secret life of sin! Every Sunday, I traditionally came; God's word was preached to me in vain. In hell my soul is bound in chains; there is no rest for my tortuous pain! Screaming and weeping are everywhere; Continual torment and despair! Just another day....so I thought; My life on earth came to a halt! If only I could live again, I would not live and die in sin! Death won’t announce how it comes; It can be at work or while having fun. Death will intrude upon dreams and plans; It's not a respector of child or man. What about the state of your heart? Where will you go when your spirit departs? There are only two eternal homes; Heaven rejoices while hell moans! Only in Christ are we fully assured That our soul’s salvation is eternally secure. Your choice will seal your final fate; The wrong choice is an eternal mistake! The most important choice you’ll make, Is not having a baby or choosing a mate; It’s not your career or buying a home, It’s confessing Jesus as Lord alone! Tomorrow maybe too late; Now is the time, don’t hesitate! Don’t gamble with your soul’s fate Repent, for goodness sake!
