Analysis of Even a man at his best, is yet a vapor!!!
He comes into this world conceived in sin
What is man, but just a vapor!
He's raised up not only by parents but a village
What is man, but just a vapor!
He learns to talk and He speaks like those who raised him
What is man, but just a vapor!
He receives his education through an upscale institution
He notices his gifts and talents, but his heart is full of greed
What is man, but just a vapor!
He meets the love of his life, but he is unfaithful
What is man, but just a vapor!
Days, months, years go by and He finds himself all alone
What is man, but just a vapor!
He heard about a Savior name Jesus through his local church
He ask Jesus to take over his life, he totally surrenders
At the age of 75, he meets the second love of his life
They both have one main common denominator, Jesus Christ!
His 78 year old wife gets sick with bone cancer, he prays to his God!
After a 2 year battle with cancer, his wife recovers, she hugs him
Now at the ages of 90 and 93, they both find jobs at the local senior center
At the age of 103, his God Calls him home, his wife quickly follows 1 year after!
What is man, but a vapor!
To inspire, challenge, EMPOWER, and Encourage those who take life for granted!
