Master and I

When the chapters of our lives end,

The Master is the one who greets us,

And helps in transition from this life to the next,

Brings us Home to where we truly belong.

Do not slander him now, for you'll face him soon,

When all things are revealed to the utmost.

If you think Jesus died on the cross,

You err.

He forever lives.

The Son of God only suffers like all the flesh does,

But his kingdom is the whole universe.

The Master is the King of Kings.

~ From The Old Time
