Just A Dash

 

It’s 11:58 on June 19^th

Now it’s June 20^th

Time is fleeting

Like a rocket it’s speeding

A moment in time

A moment is just that

Almost split decision making

That is a fact

What we do in that moment

Determines a lot

It will some day determine

Our eternal spot

Not to be treated lightly

We must understand

There’s an after life judgment

That is God’s plan

Life is a dash

We will all make a splash

But we must be careful

Not to be rash

Little time to correct

Errors we make

All the more reason

That care we should take

Life is a dash

Let me say that again

Though it mostly feels long

When there is pain

However it’s a critical dash

That shapes eternity

For what is done therein

Determines our destiny

A decision for Christ

Means a decision for heaven

Hell is the reward

For those not forgiven

Sound harsh I know

Coming from a loving God

But don’t be deceived

By Satan the Fraud

He is the cause

But he won’t tell you that

He’ll cheat you blindly

Then turn his back

“Oh you have time!”

He’ll make you believe

Then have a celebration

Each time you’re deceived

Knowing full well

That the dash is short

A decision for Christ

He’ll cause you to abort

Make your dash count

Make it count for Christ

His earthly dash

For you he sacrificed

Just thirty-three years

For you and for me

For me that dash

Has shaped my eternity

Your eternity depends

On your response to that dash

Choose Christ I implore

Do not be rash

Just a dash, I agree

But a significant one indeed

Let it matter to you

Choose Christ I plead

Let me press on you mind

Re: your dash in time

It will eternally haunt you

If Christ you decline
