Because You Are Dead

 You want the creation, but not the creator.

You want the blessings, but not the blesser.

You deny there is a God, but heap all his wealth.

For the earth and the fullness, all belongs to him.

You smile at your neighbour, but your heart is full of hate..

You give in abundance, but laugh at his weight. 

How can the Lord bless who you are..

When the love of the Father, is absent and far.

You think you will live, without any pain..

You profess to the hearers, the world is your gain.

Decisions you make, to lead you astray..

But tonight you will answer, without delay.

A book with your name, will be opened and read..

To judge you in wonder, because you are dead.

Time is no more, for your breath is all gone..

Today you must stand and undress what was worn.

A witness of recordings and writings will tell..

If the life you once lived, was swayed and not well.

No need to weep, for where you will rest..

You had decided, when you rejected the best.
