OH THIS BODY!
by Bill Kochman
04-15-2014
Out of the Spirit, and in the flesh,
Oh this body can be such a mess.
Quite often sick, other times tired,
It makes it hard, to stay inspired.
Moanin' n' groanin', it won't give in,
Old man fights new man, who will win?
But God knows best, He has a reason,
Giving us a body, for a short season.
It is His way, to perform His Will,
Reaching others who need Jesus still.
So keep busy for now, and never doubt,
Day comes when our lights will go out.
