This Life

john aaron green

From life to death

a choice is made

Our lives are short

with consessions paid

We learn from the past

our future not known

As we travel on

we carry what is sown

Our burdens are many

our troubles few

Without gods love

we can never get through

Do unto others

as they would to you

For our lord is mighty

and his love is true
