I’d erred and strayed through hill and vale <br />Living a life of strife <br />Until I heard my name would fail <br />Within the book of life <br /> <br />I truly thought I knew it all <br />From life was nought to win <br />Until I read of Adam’s fall <br />And consequence of sin <br /> <br />Consider God these latter days <br />Reflect on what’s in store <br />Repent of sin change now your ways <br />This side of death’s dark door <br /> <br />Marvellous times are planned ahead <br />Countless things to wonder <br />For those who Jesus Christ have wed <br />Once life is torn asunder <br /> <br />No eye has seen no ear has heard <br />Beyond our present plight <br />Treasure’s prescribed within God’s word <br />For whom God’s found delight <br /> <br />Heaven and earth will pass away <br />Kingdoms will rise and fall <br />Yet every pledge of God will stay <br />For those who heed His call <br /> <br />Fear not the day on earth you die <br />Nor dread God’s Promised Land <br />For those in Christ He’ll not deny <br />The future Heaven planned <br /> <br />So much awaits each child of man <br />Such wonders will we find <br />What fool would daunt The Father’s plan? <br />Would leave such hope behind?<br /><br />Michael P.
