Life is Short

We live life like there’s always tomorrow.Struggle along with many a sorrow.Not stopping once to think how short life is,Strolling along as if nothing gives. We never know when it’ll be our time,We don’t even know how we’ll die.We need to be ready to meet the Lord,And out of love obey His Word. 11/07/94

Carry Me Through

As I go throughout the day,Trying to go the perfect way,N’ever doing the things I should,Or reaching the goals that I could, Could it be on me I depend,Instead of Jesus, Who will send?Strength to make my life anew,I know He’ll carry me through. Through my doubt and fear,Every time I shed a tear,Even when… Continue reading Carry Me Through
