For his widow, condolences fall on deaf ears, pushed
Away by a wall of grief, there are no words to
Bring comfort, she knows Gods word, she had felt
The burden of sin, and had repented long ago
The reality of life, death, and eternity, hangs
Heavy in the air, I worry that she might read
My thoughts, knowing she must be thinking
The very same ones, what can now be said
Scriptures run through my mind, yet they
Can be of no comfort now, no now it's too
Late, one might ask, had he not lived his life
In the church, yes of course he had
Had he not been a deacon, sang in the
Choir, paid tithes faithfully, gave to the poor
Hadn't he counseled young married couples
Lived an exemplary life before family and friends
Yes, he had done all those things, yet he
Lacked one thing, he had neglected so great
Salvation, the repentance he'd never felt
A need for, now can never be made, I'm sorry.
Hebrews chapter (2) verse (3)
How shall we escape if we neglect so
great salvation; which at the first began
to be spoken by the Lord, and was
confirmed unto us by them that heard him.
