You Can't Afford to Wait

Posted in My poems

After the tragedy at Virginia Tech, I was saddened and reminded once again that life can be gone in a blink of an eye. It made me especially think of and pray for people who don't have the Lord as their Anchor (including many of my relatives and Thai friends). I expressed my thoughts in this poem.

You Can't Afford to Wait

The world is falling apart

The news is breaking my heart

Tragedies seem too frequent

Evil forces become more prevalent

Diseases, illnesses, accidents,

Violence, unforeseen events

Today (actually, this second) could be all you've got

Life is short...like it or not

Do you know Jesus as your Savior and Lord?

Do you know where you're going when leaving this earth?

You can choose hell & hopelessness OR heaven & rebirth

You need to decide for yourself if you want a relationship with God

You can't afford to wait;

Tomorrow may be too late!

Jesus is my Rock while the world crumbles away

Jesus is my Light as the world gets darker everyday

I hope to see you for eternity in heaven

I hope you choose Jesus Christ today, my friends

You can't afford to wait;

Tomorrow may be too late!

Lord, please open their eyes and hearts...I pray

To see how urgently they need salvation...how desperately they need You

Please help them see that Jesus is the only Way

And help them obey your Word which is forever true

They can't afford to wait;

Tomorrow may be too late!

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him." John 3:16, 17

"Jesus answered, 'I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'" John 14:6

"Jesus said to her (Martha), 'I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?'" John 11:25
