DEATHLESSNESS

To live for ever and ever
Without the thought of dying
No more worry about son or father
Or the sound of a mother crying
Where moments are no longer confined
And pain and illness can't invade
While age no longer matters
And wills are never made
To live for ever and ever
On days when life seems brief
When the past outlives the future
And medication brings some relief
When every moment is so valuable
For extra years we now strive
But in our everlasting search we miss
The hope of eternal life

To live for ever and ever
Is a gift we don't deserve
But deathlessness is by our choice
Depending on whom we serve
In moments when we stop to think
It's good to remember why
For us to live for ever
Meant God's Son had to die
