What do you suppose happens when you reach the end of your life? Well, for most, the worst is yet to come. But for some (millions), the end of this life isn’t the end of living. It’s really a matter of where you put your faith. Where is yours? In dirt? Or in God. Can I make a recommendation?

Dirt will always keep you down and dirty. God will lift you up higher than the universe. He’ll show you eternal love and give you eternal life. But…

…not if you don’t want it. Why would you want to serve yourself for all eternity? Why would you want to be alone with your thoughts for all of eternity? Why would you ever want to be your own god? Why? Why? Why?

Sorry, but why? is not my favorite question. In fact, I prefer to think about the solution. Give up wanting to be god. Let God have that title. Show Him the respect He deserves for creating all living matter. You might just enjoy eternal life in paradise with Him. But if you think you wouldn’t, you certainly can make sure the end of your life is the end of living. It’s up to you…

The Living End

How can I explain the numbers in the rain?
I’d like to help illuminate the pathways to your mind.
But I am just a man; I’ll do the best I can
I’ll show you where to look, and I’ll tell you this:
It isn’t behind…

It’s a firecracker and a windchime
It’s a loudspeaker and a street mime
It’s the friction of invisible wind…It’s the living end

I should write a book; give back what I took
It’s the kind of thing that multiplies
When you give it away
The knowledge and the lack;
The rails that make the track
Tend to open doors and open hearts
To what they can say…

It’s a sand pebble and the fired glass
It’s a skyscraper and a mountain pass
It’s the friction of invisible wind…It’s the living end

Oh, and I’m sure I can’t make you believe
If it’s not within your will
Oh, and it’s been around since Adam and Eve
And it never stood still

How can I extol the matters of the soul?
I was never one to shake my fist and preach in the square.
No, I just always knew that faith would lead me through,
And there has to be a larger life that lasts forever out there

(repeat 1st chorus)
