HIGHER CALLING
by Bill Kochman
05-11-2014
In the world of men, they say shoot for the top,
Regardless of who we hurt, just don't ever stop.
The strong take the prize, the weak are cast aside,
Friendships are skin-deep, it's a very lonely ride.
Do what we must, to get the biggest piece of pie,
Everything is fair, just steal, deceive and lie.
It's a cruel evil world, not the one made by God,
If we don't run with them, they find it rather odd.
But we have a higher calling, chosen by the Lord,
And our code of conduct, is guided by His Word.
So let them run their rat race, it is all vanity,
We run to a different tune, that's for eternity.
