Do you know where you're going?

Me Mum told me you’re not well and expecting to get worse
Whilst pondering this sad news I was prompted to this verse
About death it comes upon us all and this you clearly know
But have you thought, when you leave, about where you want to go?

You may believe there’s no option, life simply meets the end
Of the long road you have travelled, without another bend
No trace of ‘religious genes’ your sight must have grown dim
With the vision so obscured of eternal life for ‘me Uncle Jim’

Your Mum though went before you, leaving all her prayers behind
Hoping to the very end that our Saviour you would find
I know you’ve heard it all before, I don’t presume to preach
But don’t believe it can be over until your heart I reach

You’re right it’s a one-way journey, you’ll not be here again
So what’s wrong with risking it, the label of insane!
Bow your knee to Jesus, you might just find He’s there
Or, if you can’t bend over, just lift your hands in prayer

It’s one ticket you can’t pay for a trip to beat them all
By Grace it has been paid for, when Jesus gets your call
Wherever those Pearlies are, just step through them to the King
Where there’s far more to life and death has lost its sting

Will close this now before we both get all carried away
In our thinking, hopes and dreams and all that we could say
I hope to see you again, if not here then you know where
If nothing else makes sense, then at least believe I care
