Heaven To Gain

As I wake up each morning And as I begin to start a new day I wipe the night out of my eyes And on my knees to GOD I pray. I ask him to please watch over me, And protect me from all evil and sin As I know Its everywhere that I look And its after all women and men. I try to live my life the best I can And I try to stay away from sin that's within But that's the best offer made by any man So I must pray over again, and again. I think about what I had endeavored Temptation and evil it is everywhere From the things we do and the words we say Its around the corner and it is in the air. So I keep the promises that I do make And also the vows that I do swear If I break them or neglect them any At my soul, sin and evil would tear. And as I see the people everyday Many don't care about things that should last All they care about is what is for them now And then later they try to forget their past. So as I walk this one life's road Like many have walked it before The easy way is not always the best way, If you know what the outcome that is in store. So never do I want to do unto others What sins unto me that has been done As I know there is a Heaven for me to gain And also a Hell for me to shun. Randy L. McClave
