[Judy Chong-Lee]
As we grow older and nearer the end of our journey on earth
We must consider the possibility of an existence after death
What waits for us on the other side, do we have another birth
Just as we wake up from sleep will we be revived with new breath.
If there is not a place to go where we must give an account totally
Of our thoughts and deeds, everything committed in our life
Why do humans have conscience and a code for morality
To refrain from evil, injustice, violence and all kinds of strife.
Man tries to find a way to live justifying his every end
It's easy to self deceive and cross that blur thin line
The poor and weak we cannot see or we just pretend
Greed and corruption make every good man turn blind.
Who can be mighty enough to take charge of this entire universe
Other than the one who created it from alpha to omega and eternity
Why deny that God exists, that He designed and made us
And His son died on the cross to redeem our divine destiny.
Forget our pride and humble ourselves to the power above
No one will escape judgement if a holy God is to be fair
Lay ourselves at the mercy of Father God who is Love.
All it takes is our acceptance of a free salvation
We can't do enough good to be sinless and not condemned
At the cross of Calvary sin's atonement had completion
The only sacrifice required by God was Jesus the Lamb.
We only need to believe in Jesus alone, and NOT Jesus plus..
Heaven awaits all who acknowledge Him, only He can save
It's our faith in Christ, by God's grace, need no other fuss
We are heading for heaven not fearing death and the grave.
As forgiven people, born again into the family of God
Our sinful past obliterated the devil cannot take us to hell
Sin no longer our master, freed by our Saviour and Lord
We have faith hope and love, and such good news to tell.
God bless us!
I think of it everyday. Comment anyone?

Before we reach the end of our journey, we must visit & walk thru many memory lanes.
Then we will remember the fun we have , the good ,bad & ugly experiences.
Finally, those good friends & music that we love
