How wonderfully heart-warming it is to recall a life well-lived, in faithfulness to God.
But how very common, unpopular and unglamorous is the living of such a life,
ignoring the lure of many a wink with eyes fixed on One Door (to eternity)
that once again God's mercy holds ajar in a new day of grace!
The grace of God implores
with love that will not fail
Where life is like a room of doors where choice and onus hail
Where seasons rise and fall
like wave rolls over wave
Until our final port of call is back to God who gave
We share in common this,
kiss of humanity
As wail of earthly genesis births immortality
Where Mist of Mortal Must,
is tethered to a toll
Beneath the sheath of dust to dust resides the deathless soul
Ah, it is not enough
to do the best we can
Or confess that we love, but only by measure of man
For all love comes from He
who alone authors life
Each breath flirts with eternity like thread skimming a knife
The grace of God implores
where goodness and love brim
Behold! life’s little room of doors begins and ends with Him
Time’s wave of corridors
where seasons rise and fall
Rolls swiftly o'er grave-stubbled shores to the Soul’s port of call
The grace of God implores
and wills a new day's toll
Ah, pity the one that ignores the Savior of the Soul
The Way, the Truth, The Life;
there is no other Door
Save one; where remorse will run rife forever, evermore

Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.
