AS WE HAVE LIVED WE DIE - ZaunköniG - 09.08.2014
AS WE HAVE LIVED WE DIE
YEA, is it so ? will death relieve the soul
Of its most secret and inveterate sin ?
Will all be altered when behind the goal
Set to the flesh the spirit shall pass in ?
It cannot be, as we have lived we die ;
Prone in the dust of our unrighteous deeds
At the last moment we shall surely lie,
And so pass forth ; nothing there is but breeds
The thing it is ; evil shall still be so
Though spirit-borne into ethereal ways,
Yet there perchance a stronger will may grow
To do some work which God may crown with praise
As being good ; a new environment
Remoulds till we lose the old intent.
