Blessings He'll Shower On You

What will happen when your time
runs out and all your strength ebbs away?
When all the things on earth obtained have come to the point of decay?
When you cannot rise with the morning sun and
the night seems as long as the day?
When the strength of your youth is no longer your source
and all your plans go astray?

I know the results when you try to achieve the goals that you set long ago,
That you’re sure with hard work you could reach for the top,
Yet there’s so much in life you don’t know.
You trust in your skills; you honour your wealth;
your mind is filled with ideas;
You live at fast pace with no room to make friends;
being idle you call a disease.

But I want to warn you, your time is quite brief,
in a moment it’s all whisked away.
Take heed to this warning while you still have time;
this could be your final day!
Someone will claim what you now call your own,
things that consumed all your health.
Where is the gain when you cannot enjoy even one day of your wealth?

All that you have, all that you own, really is not yours to claim –
The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof;
the deed is made out in His name.
Be wary my friend, prepare for the day,
give unto God what is due;
Give Him your heart, give Him your dreams;
great blessings He’ll shower on you.
