Which World?

“When we’ve been there ten thousand years,” the song
Amazing Grace tells of eternity,
how here life’s short but there so very long;
which time frame do I focus on and see?
The Good Book says life lasts the blink of an eye,
a moment between two eternities,
we don’t live long, surprised we come to die,
such serious thoughts should drive me to my knees.
The beauty of this world is just skin deep,
we can’t tell our life’s book just by its cover,
God cares about the company we keep,
should I not put first more this greatest lover?
My body’s good, its care a worthy goal,
but grace tells me to care more for my soul.
