I did what I could
I said what I had to say
Now, at the end of life,
I put my baggage away
God has no trolleys
No porters or conveyor belts
He beckons us alone
Alone to his judgement
Thus, I leave behind
Everything I say, and do
Naked and unchained
I will come to you
How then will you judge me Lord?
If I leave everything behind
No deeds no feelings
Nothing to find
I play your game as you have set me
But when it's done
And when I come
With bowed head and folded arms
I shall bring my gratitude
For your hand that I felt all along
Though with your leave lord,
I shall bring naught but some questions along
Why? Why this world?
Why its ups and downs?
Why did you make it in the first place?
And why did you put me where I was
Did I learn my lesson,
Have I passed the test?
I did try hard
Though maybe not my best
How far have I come lord
Afore I came to rest
Am I any better than you sent me
How have I fared the test?
So pretentious, I have a lot more to learn
Firstly, not blow my own trumpet, even if it's my turn
Many years, many words, many tests yet to pass
Till I make myslef worthy to leave it all behind
To Face the Lord.
