What is Life?

What is life, what is it we cherish
To live every day like it may be our last?
While most live as if when they perish
There is nothing left, the die is cast.

No man can live life to its fullest
Simply by ignoring what God has done!
Why not live every day to its truest,
Let God in your heart, see what must be done.

So much fear lives in giving up
What we think controls our lives.
So much wasted time trying to live up
To the things, the world calls our lives.

Where are we in the grand scheme?
Do we just leave life to run its course?
Doomed to live according to some cosmic scheme
That provides little chance to change our course.

Take away the chains that rule your heart.
Lay them down. Let Jesus bear
The burden of their pain, change your heart.
Trust Him. He is always there.
