One Day Soon
by Barbara Philbrook

If word came that Jesus will be coming to take us home tomorrow,
would you be filled with expectation or overcome with sorrow?

Do you know Jesus as your loving Savior,
can others tell by observing your behavior?

Is there something God would like for you to do,
or is "Well Done, My Child" what He will say to you?

Have you shared the truths you've learned with others,
have you introduced all in your life to your new Christian sisters and brothers?

Were there words you put off because you weren't sure just what to say,
and then discover that there will not be a better day?

We can't change our yesterdays, they are over it's true,
and as for tomorrow, can you be sure there will be one for you?

So give today the very best that you've got to give,
tell all God's children, there is a place where He wishes all to live.

He has made arrangements well in advance,
and we must each make the choice, we will each get the chance.

Spread the word, tell everyone you meet,
one day soon we'll all be learning at Jesus' feet.
