Temporary Shells


We seek purpose within our lives,
That the end is not in eighty years;
Continuing as our spirit survives,
And putting a stop to all our fears.

Merely a speck of time in this state,
We are living within a fleshy shell;
Unknowing how long we must wait,
Until our Savior comes to excel.

Our bodies that we have on earth,
Only temporary while we are here;
They being corrupted since birth,
Just so long as our soul can adhere.

The cost of maintenance runs high,
As the various parts just fall apart;
So as we travel in time it has to die,
When our systems will not restart.

But fear not and so be not afraid,
For you this does not mean the end;
If redeemed your soul will be saved,
In a new body to Heaven you ascend.
