To toss away life Never ends this earth's strife Rather, it just creates more Though their time has not come They still wish they be done And they strive to meet death at its door
"End suff'ring!" they say As they play Holy God As if they all know better than He And I wish they would find Somewhere deep in their mind The hope buried beneath misery
You would find this great hope If you searched not this earth But the whisper enveloping life Which they cannot explain Though they're racking their brains And attributing all to their lies
They're deceitfulΒ and bitter And faithless at best They conceal the great truth that they've found In our naivete, We believe what they say For we're sheep who have all gone astray
It's a fib we all buy That to live is to die So we search day and night for escape But if your heart is pure, You shall find your soul's cure In the Life, in the Truth, in the Way
Inspired by my sadness at so many people pushing for euthanasia and assisted suicide. So many want to toss away the blessing of life. It breaks my feeble heart.
