What things might matter to you, 

If you found out eternity is true? 

Herein lies the Gospel proposition, 

Yet too few indeed, will make admission. 

–

If the Gospel be true, 

Who will accept, will you? 

The soul will go on existing, 

Why then, do we do so much resisting? 

–

Does money have that same allure? 

Surely it can’t be called as pure? 

What about passions and pleasures? 

Will that be called your treasures? 

–

Why will that be what has your attention, 

When eternity exists, and is beyond comprehension? 

Heaven is there, my friend,

Living for this life only, will end. 

–

Yet we go on pretending, 

No concern for God — we are offending. 

If that is how you live life, 

Your end will be eternal strife. 

–

In that land fairer than day, 

Eternal joy no longer at bay. 

“Things” ought not to matter, 

Compared to eternity, they are only tatter.
