In life there may come a time
When we respond to a certain call;
A conviction to something deeper
That stems beyond the natural.
It is spiritual in nature
To the betterment of society,
Where any gifting and/or talents
For God’s glory can be seen.
There comes a time…
When God gets our attention,
And rearranges our circumstances;
To re-organise our affections.
Because we simply cannot stay the same
As different phases will ensure,
That in tests, trials and hardships
We overcome so we endure.
There comes a time…
When all pretences with games,
Require crucifixion
So our old nature won’t remain.
There should come a time
When the new nature is revealed,
As we surrender to the Lord
And by His Spirit we are sealed.
Because there will come a time
When our final breath we take,
As we stand to give account
When in eternity we awake.
