My Father's Business

MY FATHER’S BUSINESS

There is this one thing I know without a doubt

That if God wanted to...he could just "take me out"

& he could do it suddenly with an "accident"

Then my time here on earth would have been spent.

Or he could strike me with an illness that's hard to cure

Perhaps his way of allowing his mercy to endure

All I know is when I stumble, everytime I fall

It's to my knees I go & try to give my all

I ask for his forgiveness & humble myself from my pride

I ask for grace & mercy and yet another try

But I know my days are numbered & what may not seem

Like a big deal to me... To God can be extreme!

It says I am "self-serving" and put my own self first

And God will withhold his mercy & allow my soul to thirst

I'm thankful he's forgiving & knows  my heart so well

Now if I can be about "my father's business"

It'll be too late to do it in hell.
