Preparing for Eternity

Preparing for Eternity.

The weight of inactivity
Had begun to burden me
Cycling in and out of activity
Had become my way to be

Having lived out my days
As only I saw fit
I’d have to change my ways
To truly benefit

Again and again
I had known what was right
But each time in the end
I had side-stepped the light

Now, at last, awakened
To my awful guilt
I’ve sought to stand unshakened
And with armor built

Satan- I have told
To "Get thee hence!"
For I have to be bold
To get off the fence

Now I pray, serve others
And pay a full tithing
Desiring what God offers
I am daily trying

The temple is my goal
To be sealed unto my wife
To bear the priesthood role
And bless those who touch my life
