“TIME’S UP!” by Cordell Mitchell Jr.

“Time…
The distance between finish and start;
It’s needed to travel from mark to mark;
And for April to get to March…
Time…
It’s the only way that we age;
It connects our birth to the grave;
And we ge millinniums from seconds and days…
It’s Over…
Time is up for our immaturity;
Grow up as we’re breaking free;
we were created for eternity…
There comes a Time…
Where we leave in the past our childishness;
I’ve heard that ignorance is a bliss;
Allow wisdom to be our compliment…
There was a 19 year old girl;
Who had her whole life planned out.
She had NO reason to pout;
Because success was in her route.
Her friend;
Invited her to hear an evangelist speak;
When asked, “WHO WANTS TO RECEIVE SALVATION?”
She felt something pulling her to her feet;
But she kept her seat…
Resisting God’s invitation in;
She said, “I’LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME FOR THAT.”
She still had rules that she wanted to bend…
The next night, she felt the same pull;
But she again stayed down.
She thought, “There will be another Time;
Where God asks me to allow Him to save me from death.”
She pulled out the parking lot;
Her windows shattered;
And she felt her steering wheel in her chest.
Her car skid out of control;
And she slammed into someone else;
The impact killed her instantly;
Even though she was wearing her seat belt…
“I’LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME FOR THAT!”
Those were the last words that she spoke;
Not knowing that eternity was knocking at her door…
SHE HAD NO TIME…
To think about GOD,
ETERNITY,
DEATH,
JUDGEMENT,
Or HER SOUL;
And when she see God at those pearly gates;
She can’t say that she didn’t know.
TIME is a precious gift from God;
Yet it has NO guarantees;
After I received Time;
God used Time;
To bring me to my knees…
Life is uncertain…
Death usually happens SO suddenly…
I refuse to have the phrase,
“IT’S TOO LATE!”
To haunt ME for eternity…
TIME… IS NOW!!!”
