~ My Last Day on Earth ~
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the
morrow.
For what is your life?
It is even a vapour that appeareth for a little time,
then vanishes away.
James 4:14 KJV
If I knew that this was to be my
last day on earth,
I believe I would go to God in prayer
and pray as I have never prayed before;
I would ask Him to forgive my trespasses,
and thank Him for my many blessings,
before I walk through deaths' door,
I would thank Him for my family, my friends,
my enemies, and those that hate me without a cause,
For without them I would have known nothing of life,
My faith in God increased, as I overcame each battle,
each conflict and each strife.
Without God my soul would have been
as a deep chasm, a dark and dank void;
I would have been lost, because He loved us so much
He sacrificed His only beloved Son as
Atonement for our sins,
They were washed away at Calvary,
when He died upon the cross,
Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13 KJV
Our freedom came at a surmountable cost.,
I do not fear death for I am ready to go,
My earthly body will be, in the twinkling
of an eye; transformed into a heavenly glow,
and when time is ended those who
belong to Christ will meet on that glorious shore.
"Oh death where is thy sting?
Oh grave, where is thy victory?"
1 Cor. 15:54 and 55
KJV
