On borrowed time upon this earth, days are numbered from our birth, <br />Life my friend is a gift from God, on this earth where many have trod. <br />Life my friend is given to all, but only through God can we be whole. <br />An eternal state is destined for all, as man is given a body and soul. <br />You had no choice when life began, for that is not the choice of man, <br />You have no say how long life will be, that is willed by God’s decree, <br />Or if you’re raised rich or poor; that again is determined by The Lord. <br />And yes, you must accept this life, with all the pain and all the strife. <br /> <br />One thing everyone will one day see, is the beginning of an eternity. <br />And once eternity begins my friend, your eternity shall have no end. <br />One thing different about eternity, you determine where you will be. <br />For if you trust in Jesus Christ, you my friend, will gain Eternal Life. <br />As life upon the earth withers away, where might you eternally stay? <br />When life is over and you depart, you don’t end where you did start. <br />Destined for all, some will lament, when we die we face a judgment. <br />The true Gift from God is Eternal Life that is offered in Jesus Christ. <br /> <br />But deny Christ with your breath, and you will face an eternal death. <br />And since you’re on borrowed time, you need to make up your mind, <br />For you may not have tomorrow friend, but eternity will have no end. <br />Eternal darkness with no end, doesn’t seem very pleasant my friend. <br />And If you ignore His Salvation, you will face eternal condemnation. <br />In Christ you are not condemned, for He died to become your friend. <br />On the cross Christ paid the price, so you could go from death to life, <br />So you can go from borrowed time, to new life that’s Eternally Divine. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©03/2005)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-borrowed-time/
