DYING RIGHT/LIVING RIGHT
DYING RIGHT/LIVING RIGHT
To die right-we have to LIVE RIGHT
Death is one
Of those things
That we ALL
Have to do
But it need NOT
Be worrisome
IF we are living right
A PROTESTANT MINISTER
Once told me
He was with many people
As they were dying
And they ALL inevitably said:
“I WISH
I would have LOVED
My spouse more
I wish
I would have spent
More time
With my FAMILY AND FRIENDS
NONE said
I wish
I would have made
Another million dollars”
So THERE it is
In a nutshell
It is PEOPLE
That are important
NOT material things
BUT don't negate
PRAYERS to God
And the BLESSED MOTHER
in prayers for a HAPPY DEATH
“PRECIOUS in the sight
Of the Lord
Is the death
Of his FAITHFUL SERVANTS” Psalm 116:15
SO LIVE RIGHT
Don't put material things
ABOVE family and friends
And don't carry grudges
SETTLE them
While you are still alive
WHILE you STILL CAN
And you will have
A HAPPY LIFE
And a peaceful death
And remember
It is NEVER TOO LATE
To throw your life
On the MERCY
Of the Lord
AND BELIEVE
After all
The one dying thief
On Jesus' right hand did
And listen to Jesus' RESPONSE
“BUT the other criminal
Rebuked him-and said-
'Don't you fear God
Since you are
Under the same sentence
WE are punished justly
For we are getting
What our deeds DESERVE
But this man has done nothing wrong'
Then he said,
'Jesus remember me
WHEN you come
INTO YOUR KINGDOM'
Jesus answered him,
'TRULY-I tell you
TODAY you will be with me
IN PARADISE'” Luke 23:40-43
Dear Lord-WE PRAY
We have TRIED to LIVE
A JUST LIFE
But we KNOW
We can NEVER measure up
PLEASE REMEMBER
PLEASE HAVE MERCY on us
And please RECEIVE US
Into your kingdom
IF it be-your HOLY WILL
So that we can LIVE
in PARADISE-FOREVER
with you
