Sweet Life Don't Last!
People Are Always Looking For A Fat Paycheck
A Cushy Job
A Broad Way
No Taxes Or Traffic
A Carefree Existence
And
Smooth Sailing!
Perhaps They Should Add Sliding Up A Glass Mountain
So That The Fairy Tale Existence Will Not Involve
Deep Breathing, Scraped Knees, Callused Hands
Gray Hair, Wrinkled Skin, Furrowed Brow
And
Sweat!
That's A "Nice" Gig In Lala Land!
Beloved,
Be Real!
Anything Worth Having
Is
Worth Striving For
Because
The Word Of Truth Plainly Shows That
Idleness, Fullness Of Bread, Pride
And
No Appreciation For What The Blessing Of
Work, Labor, Striving, And Exertion Provides
Is
The Curse
The Bane Of Our Lives!
We Have To Walk To Work
And
We Have To Walk To Get Inside Our Homes!
We Turn On The Stove To Hot A Pot!
We Have To Lift Up Our Hand To Eat
And
We Push A Broom To Sweep!
Dear Ones,
We Have A Heart For The Devil
If We Would A Dear Friend Betray:
That's Wicked Work!
Don't Stretch Out Your Hands
To Be A Judas Iscariot!
We Must Have A Heart For The Lord Of Life
If We Will Say Humble Prayers:
That's Blessed Work!
Dare To Be Like The Prophet Daniel!
The Point Here Is Profitable Effort!
To Eat The Good Of The Land
And
To Get From Where We Are
To Where The Lord Christ Calls Us To Be
We Must Work While It Is Yet Day
Because
The Night Is Coming When No Man Can Work!
Let's Be Wise
And
Work To Show That We Believe On The Lord Christ
For His Gift To Us Of Eternal Life
The Life That Truly Lasts!
Peace!
