Many A Time…

Many a time in life, we all behave Like Pontius Pilate, washing his hands off; Many a time like Judas Iscariot, We do the things we shouldn’t for money’s sake. Many a time, we forget God’s commands And fall a prey to temptations galore; Many a time we preach to others what We ourselves cannot do with perfection. Many a time, we nail Christ on the cross, By sinfulness and heinous crimes so oft; Many a time, we hurt our neighbors much By words and deeds – by things we can avoid. Many a time, we’re blind despite our sight, And turn a deaf ear when our Maker calls; Many a time, we take the road to hell, Enjoying sinful pleasures, God dislikes. Many a time, we waste our precious time, When we could use it well for sake of God; Many a time, we fail to live aright, Ignoring our God-given conscience. Many a time, we do most things futile, Forgetting transience of our earthly life; Many a time, we fail to reconcile With God, and miss the road to heaven’s light. Copyright by Dr John Celes 29-07-2015
