Words of Life
The night falls on another year,
As the new one prepares to dawn;
The unknown one maybe did fear,
For the old year has been long gone.

The year seems to go by too fast,
It just seems like it spreads its wings;
Like an eagle the shadows cast,
Swooping to the ground for cravings.

The same for our desires,
We crave for earthly pleasures;
Everything one acquires,
Will become their earthly treasures.

But sometime our night may gloam,
And our new life will then dawn;
Far away from where we did roam,
The earthly treasures will be gone.

Years have come as years will go,
As we continue this journey;
Death will suddenly stop the flow,
Being rolled out on a gurney.

Standing before God and the Son,
See if you confess and believe;
Sacrificed for what you have done,
Before heavenly wealth receive.

So it is up to you this year,
With everything that you will do;
Since you know the end maybe near,
As well as all that you construe.
