Choices by Janet Martin It's not like a new pair of shoes that you're choosing Or a fashion accessory It's not like a sundae that you are refusing Or…fine if it works for me It's not a preference like music or silence Or a moment that steals your breath We all are choosing even in our refusing Eternal life or death It's not like the weather and choosing sunshine Over a rainy day We cannot assume in our indecision Eventually it will go away And we can't decide on Judgment Morn To decline our life's reward Hope that was born 'neath a crown of thorns Cannot be ignored It's not like the choices which seem to abound Here on this troubled earth It's an invitation wherein is found New life and a new birth Will we choose Jesus and His gift of love? Our hope when life grows dim For there is no grace that can replace The life we find in Him Yes, we are choosing even in our refusing And in our dying breath We'll hear the voice of our choice Eternal life or death |
