IN RETROSPECT

In a hundred year’s time

When we’re in eternity;

Our reward is signed and sealed

As to where we’ve chosen to be.

If we could turn back the time

To be given another chance,

We’d be wiser with our time

And make the most of circumstance.

We’d forsake the many things

That have no profit to our soul,

And build eternal legacies

With foundations that take hold.

We’re given one shot at life

As we’re tested here on earth;

Do we soften or do we harden

Our dear hearts when trials are birthed?

Do we fear or face the challenge

When the devil throws his darts?

Do we rise to win the victory

Or is our soul just torn apart?

We’re all faced with many choices

But with God the battle’s won;

As we stand and walk by faith

All our trials we overcome.

(C) P.B. 2016

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12
