The Secret to Eternal Life

John 12:23-26

The hour comes to glorify the Son of man,
As it is written to be part of God's plan;
Except the grain falls to earth and dies,
And the future of its fruit does jeopardize;
He that loves his life will be loosing it,
For it's of earthly things that they commit;
He who hates his life here on this earth,
Will have eternal life through second birth;
Anyone who serves Christ let him abide,
Wherever Christ is, the servant to coincide;
Anyone serving Jesus Christ as their Lord,
Heavenly Father will honor with a reward;
For the Son is the doorway to the Father,
In the family of Christ, He is your Brother;
Those who decide to depart and just stray,
Will bear no fruit and merely fade away;
For no one can serve two masters at once,
Loving this life is serving Satan's tyrants
Being patient on the tribulation and strife,
Guarantees God's promise of eternal life.
