We find ourselves in a race,
To see what kills us first,
Will it be climate change,
Or a powerful solar burst?

So much disease, famine too,
Many millions die each year,
We take unborn innocent lives,
But few will even shed a tear.

Maybe all the wars we fight,
Will erase humanity someday,
Button pushed, hope is lost,
Earth fades from blue to gray.

Some claim our own machines,
Will result in man's demise,
Yet others point to a threat,
That will come from the skies.

Earthquakes too may do us in,
Seas rise beyond their shore,
A lot of ways for us to die,
No doubt you'll think of more.

So many things for us to fear,
No wonder people are on edge,
One thing or perhaps another,
Will push us over the ledge.

But as for me I will not fear,
For God surely knows my fate,
Thus I will live day by day,
Till I pass thru Heavenly Gate.

His peace reigns in my heart,
I trust He knows what's best,
Being afraid is to no avail,
So I won't fear like the rest.
