Choose Today
by Barbara Philbrook

Choose today whom you will follow,
for we know not for sure there'll be a tomorrow.

To choose one moment and the next to die,
would be far better than not and wonder why.

To choose to serve our Lord above,
and from this day forth to live in His love.

To care about the fate of our fellow man,
to do everything for others you possibly can.

To make the conscious choice to follow God's will,
knowing that this the old sinful self will kill.

Aware that a new you will be born and brought to life,
and at that, not one free of trials and strife.

Knowing that the enemy will probably launch an attack,
trying to scare you and win you back.

Fully aware and making the same definitive choice,
declaring it loudly with your own voice.

Choose today and become part of God's own family,
join those who will abide with Him for eternity.
