Remembering...

Sometimes we forget

That He who lights the day

Beholds each footstep that we take

And every word we say

Sometimes we forget

Before Time tuned earth’s sod

God WAS, IS and will ever be

In the beginning, God

Sometimes we forget

As doubt's vile demons roar

That God forgives our sin and then

Remembers it no more

Sometimes we forget

That disobedience

In spite of Love’s forgiveness yields

A bitter consequence

Sometimes we forget

That this is not the end

And soon this life will disappear

A vapor in the wind

Sometimes we forget

That God is God alone

And though the flesh is doomed to die

The soul lives on and on

 Remember him—before the silver cord is severed,
    and the golden bowl is broken;
before the pitcher is shattered at the spring

 and the wheel broken at the well, 

 and the dust returns to the ground it came from,
    and the spirit returns to God who gave it. Eccles. 12: 6-7
