Don’t Wait Till The End  By Terry Dean

As a lifetime is full and reaching its end,

We constantly wonder in awe

Just what we have done and what we have said

That will matter to any and all

A lifetime is short in the scheme of things

In this cosmos of wonder and might

So when we look back on the things we have done

We all seem to search for the light

Although we make out to be mighty and strong

We soon learn just how small we are

And once through this life we finally find

We really haven’t traveled that far

We remember the good times the bad and the rest

And pain the hunger and strife

And how we have prayed just to make it one day

Through this journey that we call our life

Are we walking alone or is there someone there

That silently guides us along

Someone who cares and watches our way

Someone who makes us strong

We are taught when we are young to worship the Lord

He is with us and guides us each day

But as we grow older we all seem to loose

Our need to be humble and pray

We grow and we think we can do anything

We don’t need help we can do this alone

We hurry around we forget what was taught

And our heart start to turn into stone

Then we reach the end of this journey called life

And suddenly we think what we’ve done

And we start to remember the teachings of old

And his words we have chosen to shun

It has always amazed me how when the end comes near

How everyone reaches for hope

To remember the words and the teachers class

For the answers we all try to grope

It seems to me the answer is clear

There’s no need to wait till the end

Remember that Jesus is always there

He’s your only one true and good friend

So don’t wait till the end to seek him out

He’s with you so speak every day

And you’ll find that it’s easy once you give it a try

To find just the right words to say

Speak from your heart and don’t miss a thing

Share your troubles and sorrows my friend

He already knows he’s been there just for you

You’ll find peace for your soul in the end.
