Analysis of Choices

Robert Catron 1963 (Kansas)



It seems that with the beginning of each day,
We're faced with many choices - some easy - some hard in a way.
Of course with each choice there are two paths you can go,
Which one is right for you - only God will know.
One is the wrong one and one is the right,
You must choose the one that will let you be able to sleep at night.
For you see the Lord will always test you to see what you will do,
Whether you make it to Heaven or not - is totally up to you.
For there are two paths you can take that are both in your mind,
The choices you make in life will come back to you- you will find!
For the judgement day is coming - it's soon on it's way,
When we're standing face to face with the Lord - what will you say?
