Separation

By Mike Bullock

Are you happy with your life
Is it going swimmingly
Everything you’ve ever dreamed
Being perfect to a tee
Do you go to church each week
Say the words and sing His praise
Drink your coffee, have a chat
Then return to your malaise
Perhaps your duty has been done
Cleared the decks of all your sin
Then you can amass again
As many as you can fit in.

It seems a waste of time to me
Preferring worldly gain
Life is short, there is an end
Then you’ll feel the pain
Of separation from your Lord
Who wanted you so much
You chose the easy path to walk
Into the devil’s clutch.
