What would be the point
If it’s the end when we die?
Since there would be no plan or purpose
And technically one big lie!
What would be the point
When we toil and we labor,
To sweat to make a living
If we’re merely just a vapour?
What is the point
Of all the joy and all our laughter;
When it’s a speck of dust in eternity
If there’s no ever-after?
What would be the point
To acquire knowledge and success,
Making every type of sacrifice
So our family has the best?
We don’t have all the answers
But one thing is for sure;
That there’s blessings and there’s curses
It’s a fact we can’t ignore.
Let’s get to the point
As to why we do exist,
To examine from God’s perspective
To ensure nothing is missed…
We’re created for a purpose
Through God’s love with a plan;
And although we suffer in different ways
It’s in His sovereign will and hand.
He gave us our sweet Jesus
So we’re reconciled to Him,
Through the sacrifice on the cross
So our soul is cleansed within.
He wants to write our story
As His pencil makes a point,
To point us to His loving Son
The One He did anoint.
The point of the matter
Is that eternal life is real;
And earth is a dressing room for eternity
Before forever is revealed.
There’s no point in rejecting God
And gambling with eternity,
Since His loving grace and mercy
Is what our soul desires to see.
