The Book of Earthly Life
Ronald-L-Bunch-Jr 1982 (Grand Rapids)
Shock treatment,
A rocking chair,
A caress to madness.
Old age is the last page
Of the book of earthly life.
God hopes for the best,
As He turns each page
As we age.
Will He find strife for life
With tears and snares?
Or will we be redeemed
With the blood of Jesus
Our lamb and cleaned?
God eagerly awaits our decision,
Don’t lose your mind with old age
And every surgical incision,
As Jesus writes the last page
Of our earthly life decision.
