Till The Day He Is Dead

Till The Day He Is Dead

(2/21/2025 Tom Entrican)

He ran so fast but could not get away

A lesson well learned about pitfalls that day

Too young to know just what lies ahead

The battles he’ll fight till the day he is dead

He did not ask to be brought to this place

But he does his best to stay in God’s grace

The truth now he seeks from the letters in red

For the battles he’ll fight till the day he is dead

A young man so lost for so many years

To many missteps causing to many tears

The pain he inflicted and the pain he endured

And a cold day in hell for him was assured

When he saw the light it was too late to turn

From all of the lessons that he must learn

How many more souls must the devil be fed

Oh the battles they fight till the day they are dead

Growing old put him right in his place

There is not enough time to win his race

Hands over his burdens to Jesus Christ

Hard lesson learned, he doesn’t think twice

Knowing the truth, there’s nowhere to hide

We all must decide where we will reside

His words ring out, in the bible He says

The battles they’ll fight till the day they are dead

Some days he struggles with the will to live

At times it feels he has nothing left to give

But it is not his to give or to take

He knows the Father will make no mistake

So he prays each night until he falls asleep

For wolves are preying on Heavens own sheep

He sheds many tears for what lies ahead

And the battles he’ll fight till the day he is dead
