Have You Thought
14 August, 2005
Author: Marilyn A F Longfellow
Have you ever stopped to wonder
What this life is all about?
Why you're here and where you're going
When your lease on time runs out?
Maybe you've been far to busy
Trying hard to reach your goal.
Would you let me ask you kindly
Have you thought about your soul?
You may reach the highest portals
And your dreams may all come true.
Wealth and fame may be your portion
And success may shine on you.
All your friends may sing your praises
Not a care on you may roll.
What about that great tomorrow....
Have you thought about your soul?
Don't forget your days are numbered
Thought you may be ridin high
But like all of us poor mortals
Some day you'll just up and die.
Your seccess and fame and glory
Won't be worth the bell they toll.
Let me ask you just one question
Have you thought about your soul?
If you've never thought it over
Spend a little time today
There is nothing more important
That will ever come your way
Than the joy of sins forgiven
And to know you've been made whole
In the name of Christ the Saviour
Have you thought about your soul?
