Life's writing a living journal
A book of all we do
The goodly things, the infernal
Whatever we pursue
Our friends, family, will cleanly see
Every word, will hear
Best be advised what soon will be
What future, will appear
All shameful things, as well as good
From birth, till old and grey
Living or not the way we should
Truth will reveal some day
Nothing at all can one conceal
Once light has been applied
Apparent! everything's real
Darkness can never hide
Confess, to God life's every fault
Admit before to late
Season your soul with healing salt
Lock fast hell's yawning gate
What black on white is written down
Witnessed by night or day
Wearing a smile, wearing a frown
Never may fade away
Unless grace begins to tease us
We feel inner remorse
We confess our shame to Jesus
And lay wide Him our doors
Learn how to live, how self can die
Truth's wisdom to embrace
Cast off all sin, Jesus on high
Speak with Him face to face.....
