“Why Sit We Here 'Till We Die” [#21C] (Matt.8:18-22; 2Kings 7:3-20)
Some are dying, some are dead;
Some who’ve died are now being fed,
By the hand of God above,
Who’s received them in His love.There’s a cost to Way of Christ;
Tally the up-coming price –
Place to lay your head at night?
That may go as part of fight.“Fight? How can that be?” You ask;
Cosmic – David’s fight will last
Long into the days ahead –
Adam’s choice, as we’ve all read.Then come days of Solomon –
Kingly splendor, God’s own Son;
Time for us has cost in-deed,
Wartime’s always time of need.Are you living? Are you dead?
Walking ’round with feet of lead?
Can’t get moving now the sun
Of your little day has run –To its end, sunset is nigh?
Why on earth are you alive?
God has plans for all, each day;
Stay in Him and walk His way.Jesus put the cost up front –
Batter up – home run, or bunt;
Either way, now get involved;
Follow Christ – it gets resolved.Thanks Lord, for this.
